One Planet Classrooms is an initiative by Kerryn Vaughan, author of 'Magnificent Kids! - 23 Superheroes who are changing the world'. 'Magnificent Kids!' celebrates the positives in kids and highlights their unique abilities and qualities. The book aims to empower every kid on the planet to be their best and shine their magnificence with confidence and authenticity.
One Planet Classrooms was founded as a result of Kerryn working closely with an amazing, dedicated teacher in Guinea, who was (and still is) struggling to keep the school afloat due to the devastating impact of the Ebola virus.
What was originally a plan to set up one classroom with some Skype contacts, has now become a project that will connect poorly resourced schools in third world countries, with well resourced schools, and build relationships across the globe that will empower the next generation.
