Sight Speed: Russia And The International Parliament Project
Using the power of communication, students learn the inner workings of democracy as they write legislation/resolutions and learn how to argue merit of what they had written. Taking local issues and realizing that a local political stand in many cases is not a great position on the international basis. This project allows highly motivated students from all countries to argue against their peers over issues that they the student believe are important. This is truly an education that you can not find in a book.

  World Class Students Learn By Doing The way to teach students about the imporant issues of the world is to have them figure out what they are and they have them argue their position in front of their peers- the future leaders of the world.

This is not a traditional sit down and be quiet curriculum program and we realize that not all schools will be able to successfully implement this curriclum into their own classrooms. We we also realize is that the best method for teaching students is to get the student involved in their own education. This method allows for greater participation and world wide recognition.
