From figure-skating to salsa dancing, baking a cake to landing a plane, you\u2019ll be able to watch a whole range of weird and wonderful lessons during the week of September 8 to 12.<\/p>\n<p>We all know that YouTube is already like a huge virtual school&#8211;a place where people come to learn, to teach, to hang out and make friends&#8211;so it makes perfect sense to celebrate this for one week. And the best thing about this school is that you\u2019ll be able to make a real difference to young people who desperately need your help.<\/p>\n<p>The stars of the School of YouTube will be asking for donations to help some of the millions of people around the world who don\u2019t have the opportunity to go to school or get an education. These kids may be struggling to survive on city streets, in slums or in refugee camps. Or they may be in a situation like 10-year-old Daniel from Ghana, who has very little time to get an education because he has to work long shifts in a dangerous gold mine so that his family can afford to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Getting an education is by far the most powerful route out of poverty for these children and that\u2019s where the School of YouTube comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Money raised from donations will go to the U.K. charity Comic Relief, to help give kids an education across some of the world\u2019s poorest countries. And even just \u00a310 or $17 can pay for a Zambian orphan to go to school for two months where they also get a healthy meal&#8211;often the only one they\u2019ll eat all day.<\/p>\n<p>So hands up, who\u2019s ready for a lesson at the School of YouTube?
