Among the finalists will be 'E-ngageLive', an E2BN funded project from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, which has been nominated for its contribution to high tech innovation in creative learning. Engagelive's online classroom activities about cyberbullying have been recognised for enabling young people to develop their own personal safety strategies. Davis Casey, E-ngage founder and developer stated, 'To be a finalist in the Global Junior Challenge is a significant recognition of the work that E-ngage and E2BN have been doing. It shows that here in Britain and especially in the East of England we are making a globally significant contribution to innovation in the use of technology in education and e-inclusion. We are delighted to be recognised in this way.'
