In 2009-2010, Facing History brought together a group of students from two high schools in Rwanda and two high schools in Greater Boston for a youth leadership program funded by the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The introductory video explains how the students learned together online and through in-person exchanges, and how they created digital video stories together with the support of the Mobile Learning Institute. The disc includes the nine student-created videos.
