Days before the Bush administration declared war on Iraq, a group of Iraqi students
from the elite high school of Baghdad College met face-to-face via videoconference
with their peers at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
The students discussed their daily lives, their respective cultures, their aspirations
for the future and, of course, their views on a looming war.
Several weeks after the Bush Administration declared major combat in Iraq over,
Global Nomads Group returned to Baghdad to conduct a follow-up to Project Voice.
GNG reunited participants from the last conference in a post-war climate.
Both sessions were followed live by thousands of students all over the world
via view-only videoconferencing and webcasting. Project Voice tells the story
of these interactions and the remarkable students who took part in them.
