Global Connections and Exchange Program: U.S.-Australia Virtual Environmental Partnership: The Youth Programs Division, Office of Citizen Exchanges, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the new U.S.-Australia Virtual Environmental Partnership under the Global Connections and Exchange Program. This initiative was announced in a joint statement by the U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Peter Garrett, the Australian Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth during President Barack Obama‟s visit to Australia in November 2011. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to conduct a program that will use connective technologies to create collaborative environmental science projects between eight American and eight Australian high schools. Applicant organizations will identify their own partner organization in Australia. Bi-national teams will work together on joint projects to investigate and develop solutions to local, regional, or global environmental water resource issues by using online tools, videoconferencing, virtual workshops, and other advanced methods of communication. Through this exchange, participants will achieve competency in the chosen topic, expand their vision of the world, and gain perspectives that will help them succeed in the international arena.
