We participated in these videoconferences through Global Nomads Group. They collaborated with the project called Semester at Sea, which embarked on its 100th voyage from Sept. - Dec. 2009. Live, open dialogue videoconferences were planned with each port city along their route. We enjoyed being apart of this unique experience. For more information on the Semester-At-Sea progam, visit:

"The aim of this project is for youth participants to broaden their understanding of an increasing "flat world" in the 21st century though live, cross-cultural conversations on the manifold issues that relate to immigration and globalization." -Semester-At-Sea Lesson Plan
"Morocco has long been viewed as an emigrant country - where the native population migrates out to various countries, such as Spain, Netherlands, the US, etc. Lately, its role seems to be evolving as globalization continues to play a role in human migration. With Moroccans being the most dispersed non-Western group in Western Europe, we examined the strengths and challenges of the roles migration has played in this multicultural community." -GNG
