GLOBAL KIDS ECLIPSE 2009 is an event which will take place on July 22, 2009–the day when millions of people will witness the century’s longest total solar eclipse. While the event enables children in several places in Asia to observe the eclipse together through Internet broadcast, it also encourages intercultural communication and understanding among these children coming from different parts of the world.

Keio University Graduate School of Media Design (KMD) and SOI Asia are joinly organizing this session, supported by UNESCO, WIDE Project, Kawasaki City (Japan), Brastel Telecom and NPO CANVAS.
