We collaborate with individuals, organizations, schools, and universities all over the world.
KIDS ON EARTH VIDEO INTERVIEWS
Mostly on location, sometimes via ZOOM, we have recorded video interviews with individual children and teenagers in Uganda, Brazil, Slovenia, Turkey, Japan, Paraguay, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, Chile, Indonesia, and many places in the U.S. We look plan to record more interviews with more kids in more places, and we welcome your help in making those interviews happen.
The process begins with a conversation with a parent, teacher, school administrator, university researcher, or another adult who believes, as we do, in global citizenship.
We take care of planning, production, editing and posting the completed video. We look to our local partner to arrange for kids and a local school (typically, the quiet school library, but there are many other options). Prior to the record date, the local adult also secures signed permission forms from parents and guardians of the children and teenagers to be interviewed.
There are no prepared questions because the interviews are based upon active listening. Howard Blumenthal in the interviewer; his voice is heard but he does not appear on camera.

TEACHERS ON EARTH VIDEO INTERVIEWS
We have begun a parallel project called Teachers on Earth. Also conducted in person or via ZOOM, each edited interview runs 15-20 minutes. If you are a primary or secondary teacher, and you can arrange for a reliable internet connection with good light and sound, we will be happy to schedule an interview. You will find the Production Kit and Permission Form below.
To watch the initial batch of Teachers on Earth interviews, please visit our Teachers on Earth: Africa showcase.

OTHER TYPES OF COLLABORATIONS
The world is full of good ideas. If you're working on a project that would benefit from interviews with children and teenagers, or teenagers, please reach out. Anything is possible, but nothing happens without that first conversation.
