The BBC is getting UK pupils to take part in a live TV link-up with kids at a South African school which has an important role in the history of human rights.
Teachers were urged to contact the BBC if they were interested in taking part in the special event, called School Day: South Africa.
Live
The selected school will hook up with Phefeni School in Soweto on Wednesday, 14 June, with live broadcasts on BBC Breakfast, News 24 and online.
The event marks 30 years since a group of black pupils held a protest about being treated differently from white pupils in South Africa.
They walked out because they were angry that they could not choose what language they were taught in, and at being separated from white people.
Police
They were outside Phefeni School when the police tried to end their protest and opened fire on the students.
The violence sparked other protests in the country and eventually led to people of different races being treated more equally.
Next week's TV link-up aims to show how life has changed for people in Soweto, as well as the differences between school life there and in the UK.
Nice experience
The BBC has made a series of films about life there in the countdown to School Day: South Africa.
One 14-year-old girl explains how she must pay for her schooling, with books and equipment costing extra.
"I don't think about being absent. It's a nice experience going to school every day," she said.
Soweto is a poor area - with nearly half of people unemployed - but the schoolgirl shares her hopes for a bright career in medicine.
