This program is specifically designed to further the educational and informational needs of children, has educating and informing children as a significant purpose, and otherwise meets the definition of Core Programming as specified in the Commission's rules.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Passport To Explore takes an atypical approach, since the focus is specifically aimed at the 13-16 year-old set. Teens - the "Young Explorers" - travel the globe in search of exciting and adventure filled places and learn a little something in the process. In accordance with the 1990 Children's Television Act (ATC) intended to increase educational and informational programming for children on television, Passport To Explore clearly meets the goals of providing children with a television show that meets CORE requirements of the FCC as follows: 1. The Passport To Explore website will be easily accessed by parents and provide a clear description of the types of programming offered. 2. Passport To Explore provides CORE programming in the area of geography and prevailing local customs related to the areas visited. Not only does the series present geographical and morays about the areas visited, but it aims to enrich children's lives by making them aware of the differences that exist and how enriching those differences can be to their own lives. Each episode provides information related to the specific area visited and gives an educational approach to its history. 3. Passport To Explore uses the technique of near peer mentors i.e., children to teach other children. Each episode employs children who ask questions and experience firsthand the experience of the topic.
