Llyod Axworthy in Ghana
at the War Child Conference
on War Affected Children

Live Online Broadcast
April 23, 2000

• we were asked to script and develop the flash animations to sync with Llyod Axworthy's discussion with a classroom full of children in Accra, Ghana.

satellite feeds were brought near to the school and pumped out the signal through to Boston then San Diego, we picked up the digitized video of the conference and with very little time-delay 'broadcast' the signal inside the interface you see to the left.

• the animations were chalk full of things such as maps of Ghana and FACTS about war affected children, weapons information.

• other elements included a live poll for kids in Canada to test their knowledge of conflicts and war, live chat for kids across Canada to ask each other questions and a live question feed to Llyod Axworthy and the kids in Ghana. They would receive the question through email and then respond on live video feed.

• See warchild.ca for ongoing information and projects organized by these committed people.
