Brainkids-Project

The goal is to raise solidary behavior among children, to heighten awareness for cultural differences and thus helping to prevent racist and prejudiced behavior.

Its about the everydaylife of schoolkids from different surroundings and on  different continents. A climate of mutual respect and appreciation should be induced in order to help develop long lasting relationsships first via social media and then through actual pupil exchange in the participating countries. At the start of the project vienna (headoffice of braintribe) and sao paulo (braintribe-dependance) are the first contributing areas.

Children from primary schools describe their everydaylife and surroundings over questions like „how is my way to school?“, „what do I love to do in my freetime?“, „what do I know about the other country?“, „how does my living area look like?“ and so on.  They describe it in their own way via drawings, fotos, stories, mobilevideos…etc. These will be shown on our website www.braintribe.org, later on in public exhibitions and at best a mutual virtual communication will be induced. The perception of cultural differences and similarities will be deepened through personal encounters  in the relevant countries as ultimate objective of the brainkids-project.
