What do the children learn about? The project explores the music, folklore, culture, geography and heritage of Trinidad and Tobago through a series of interactive projects. Schools are encouraged to play games and puzzles and take part in live music practice and workshops.
How do the children communicate with each other? Children from both countries help to run a website. Pupils are expected to update the contents of the site with footage, blogs and other relevant information.
Are there any other benefits? Steel bands have been an important part of Trinidad and Tobago's culture for more than 200 years, so all the pupils on the programme have the chance to enter a competition to design their own steel pan. The winners will get to travel to Tobago to see their steel pan design being made.
