<p>added info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>''Crossing Borders was an exciting new initiative that used information technology to link young writers in Africa with experienced mentors in the [[UK]]. The project was funded by the British Council in London, designed and managed by the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University and was enabled by a network of British Council offices in Africa.''<br /> <br /> <br /> Crossing borders worked with e-mail tutorials and participants in the project were drawn from [[Botswana]], [[Cameroon]], [[Ghana]], [[Kenya]], [[Malawi]], [[Nigeria]], [[South Africa]], [[Uganda]], [[Zambia]] and [[Zimbabwe]]. Over one hundred African writers were enrolled, working in poetry, fiction and children’s literature with around 30 mentors drawn from a wider range of cultural backgrounds in the UK.<br /> <br /> <br /> The new African writing initiative from the [[British Council]] is called ''[[Radiophonics]]'', continuing ''to develop the important work that was established with Crossing Borders''.<br /> <br /> <br /> Its web site is http://radiophonics.britishcouncil.org/</div>
