Yesterday I popped into the University of Newcastle for a chat about the upcoming Genki English trip to India.

It does seem like a very exciting, very different and very interesting project to be involved with. Not least of which is because of the just-on-the-right-side-of-crazy people who are running things!

I’m sure I’ll be writing more on this in the coming months as it is having a big effect on how I look at my volunteer based public school projects across Asia, and is also a great chance to learn new ways to help teachers in different situations.

If you’d like to learn more, have a look at the University’s page at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/egwest/ or some of the articles such as The Times, Newsweeks’ Do it yourself education, or the BBC’s Newsnight programme (real video player needed) . Could this be the future of education?

Keep tuned in for more updates!
