I've been trying to figure out how my class(es) could forge a relationship with a class in a different country. At first I was thinking it would be like an international literature circle, but now I'm thinking that I'd like to think of maybe a conversation surrounding current events. Global Voices seems like a great site to mine for stories, but there's no central group of participants. I think what I'd like to find is an actual class or school that is looking to do something similar. We could use Global Voices (maybe) as a springboard.

Maybe she can help to catapult your idea. I love your idea of using Global Voices.
