The Student Summit, led by Vicki Davis and supported by Julie Lindsay and Hollywood film education expert, Frank Guttler, encouraged participants to identify and solve global issues. In teams, students pitched ideas for solutions to an international audience. The teams voted most likely to succeed spent the last summit day creating a multimedia artifact to share with the world and convince them of their aims. One of these ideas, Eracism (erasing racism) was implemented in November 2009 as a Flat Classroom Project involving a global debate. Watch the Flat Classroom Conference documentary.
