104      <p>iEARN is a non-profit organization made up of over 30,000 schools and youth organizations in more than 140 countries. iEARN empowers teachers and young people to work together online using the Internet and other new communications technologies. Over 2,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work worldwide.
105</p><p>iEARN International is registered as an NGO in Spain and has an international office in Callus, Spain.
106</p><p>Since 1988, iEARN has pioneered on-line school linkages to enable students to engage in meaningful educational projects with peers in their countries and around the world.
107</p><p>iEARN is:
108</p><ul>
109	<li>a safe and structured environment in which young people can communicate</li>
110	<li>an opportunity to apply knowledge in service-learning projects</li>
111	<li>a community of educators and learners making a difference as part of the educational process</li>
112</ul><p>The iEARN Assembly is the decision-making body of iEARN International. The Assembly discusses and makes decisions on issues - both online throughout the year and at an annual meeting held in conjunction with the iEARN International Conference in July.
113</p><h3>How can I participate?</h3><p>There are over 150 projects in iEARN, all designed and facilitated by teachers and students to fit their curriculum and classroom needs and schedules. To join, participants select an online project and look at how they can integrate it into their classroom.
114</p><p>With the project selected teachers and students enter online forum spaces to meet one another and get involved in ongoing projects with classrooms around the world who are working on the same project.
115</p><p>In addition to connecting students' learning with local issues and meeting specific curriculum needs, every project proposed by teachers and students in iEARN has to answer the question, "How will this project improve the quality of life on the planet?"  This vision and purpose is the glue that holds iEARN together, enabling participants to become global citizens who make a difference by collaborating with their peers around the world.
116</p><p>To register, or request more information, complete our online registration form and information will be sent to the iEARN Coordinator in your country.
117</p><p>View a list of iEARN Country Coordinators to find contact information for the iEARN program in your country.  If no coordinator exists in your country, contact iEARN's Executive Council (elected representatives of iEARN's global Assembly) at: ec @ iearn.org
