The On-the-line initiative seeks to link countries on the Meridian line: Britain, France, Spain, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Togo. All these countries share the same time line and hence it's the same time of day in each one of them

The On-the-line initiative seeks to link countries on the Meridian line: Britain, France, Spain, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Togo. All these countries share the same time line and hence it's the same time of day in each one of them.

RAP, a youth community project in Oxford, worked with their five children's groups on an On-the-line project. They used video to exchange messages with children in Marli; they made African masks, wall hangings, drawings and paintings to explore life in Africa and their links to Africa. Global citizenship for children.

Elise, one of the RAP workers describes their On-the-line work. Listen to some of the video message exchange between Oxford and Timbukto, Marli.
