The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

ThinkQuest Competition

0 comments

The ThinkQuest programme is an annual competition which promotes the creation of web-based educational materials by teams of students (ages 9-19). Sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation, this project-based learning challenge encourages students, coached by teachers, to collaborate in teams (often with students in different countries) to develop innovative educational websites.

The top 10 teams in each age division receive laptop computers and a cash award for the coach's school. In addition, the top 3 teams in each age division travel to ThinkQuest Live, an educational extravaganza celebrating their achievements. A special award is also presented to the team best demonstrating global perspectives. Each year the winning websites are also published in the ThinkQuest Library.

ThinkQuest is an annual competition, which began in 1996. Students worldwide have participated, including those from Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States (US), Uzbekistan, and Viet Nam.
