Did you hear the one about the
classroom with no windows?
In 2003, Mark Gross found that the room for his International Relations class had no windows. So his class decided to make one. They asked people from all over to email pictures taken outside their windows and hung them on the wall in their room inside a frame made up of their own self portraits. Photos poured in! Today, Outside My Window is a school club that connects people worldwide through photography and email.
Outside My Window is an international network through which people trade photos and emails about where they live, and make new friends the world over. The network helps people see the world as other people see it, the first step toward understanding and friendship.
At a time when our governments can't seem to get along, maybe we can find a way to connect with one another across borders and make things a little better on our own..
Want to participate?
- Take a photo and email it to us.
- Tell other people about us!
- Write a message to the world and send it to our forum, where you can meet new people online. Tell people about yourself and where you live and how we can make the world a better place.
- Teachers: We created the outline a project for you. Check it out.
Maybe if we take a look through each other's windows we'll see that we're not so different after all.
