About
Canada World Youth
Canada
World Youth is a national, non-governmental organization
that helps young people develop important job and life skills
while living and working in communities in Canada and around
the world.
Youth
live with local families and do volunteer work in areas related
to agriculture, community and social services, health care,
education, the environment and information technology.
CWY
Volunteer Work at the Electronic Text Centre
Students
worked at the ETC for approximately eight weeks as part of the
Canadian section of their Canada World Youth exchange programs.
Student staff members took part in editing and adding SGML markup
to a major ETC project, a bilingual Russian-English online edition
of the works of the early twentieth-century Russian author Mikhail
Kuzmin. In addition to this main project, the student assistants
learned and applied individual skills such as the use of SGML
validation tools, text scanning and optical character recognition,
creation of Quicktime VR images and software setup.
