Hi,

New here but already asking for help..!

I am working with an International School in England. I have created an Internet space where children at the school (the current group is aged 14-15) can work with other children to explore the idea of global citizenship. The site uses Wiki and Blog technologies to enable the young people to drive the project forward themselves with myself and the other staff there to help, prompt, advise but not run the project.

I am looking for schools/organisations who would be interested in joining the project. At the moment the site is password-protected and, at least for the initial stages, I am looking at keeping the project just to invited schools. If it takes off of course I would like to open it up to the wider Internet. At this stage though my aim is to help the young people concentrate on the content and the connections they can make with other young people and with the issues.

You can see a little more about the project on the site: www.theinternationale.net/twiow

The young people I am working with have already got very enthused about the site and the possibilities and I am very keen to get others involved ASAP. If you or your school would like to get involved, please get back to me.

Please also feel free to pass this message on, post to lists or whatever.

Thanks.
