The voices of the beneficiaries of an "innovative" use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education can be heard in this video co-produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Bangkok and Intel Semiconductor Ltd., as a part of UNESCO Bangkok’s Innovative Practices in ICTs in Education Project.

The video features interviews with students, principals, and teachers who have been awarded UNESCO ICT in Education Innovation Awards. The teachers attribute their success to the Intel® Teach Program, a research-based programme instructing K-12 teachers on integrating ICT tools and resources into lessons. Working with local governments, the Intel programme has trained more than 5 million teachers in over 40 countries.

A Journey of Hope is intended to demonstrate how integrating ICT into education systems can increase the quality of education and improve outcomes. It also underlines how strong support from heads of schools is essential for innovative use of ICT in the classroom. Its intended audience is government officials, educators, school principals, teachers, parents, and the general public.
