  We explore the design of a seamless broadcast communication system that
brings together the distributed community of remote secondary education
schools. In contrast to higher education, primary and secondary education
establishments should remain distributed, in order to maintain a balance of
urban and rural life in the developing and the developed world. We plan to
deploy an ambient and social interactive TV platform (physical installation,
authoring tools, interactive content) that supports social communication in a
positive way. In particular, we present the physical design and the conceptual
model of the system.
