International Education Effort Planned Robert Lavelle, director of Publishing and New Media, is traveling in Zambia this month to attend the Association of African Universities annual conference, where he will discuss the Hopes on the Horizon multimedia project and explore ideas and partnerships with participants. The education effort for the pilot phase of the African history series will include a radio program and teacher training initiatives. Blackside plans to develop partnerships with one or more educational institutions in Africa and to work with them toward developing and testing materials in targeted areas throughout the continent. We will also develop material for the American education community.
