| Q: |
What is the SchoolNet Global Project? |
| A: |
Thousands of school children across the world are building a vast Internet treasure chest of their ideas and discoveries about their lives and the world around them, whether near or far. They take part in Curriculum Projects, which bring history and geography and other subjects alive in their local communities. They learn from their own projects and tell the world what they learn in their own words.
The project is supported by the Intuitive Media SchoolNet Global Project Team, all of whom are on hand to support Teachers and Children.

| Q: |
Who can take part? |
| A: |
If you are interested in what children think about their lives, their communities and their environments, then this website is for you. Children, teachers, parents and researchers will find a huge international archive - a unique and valuable collation of anecdotal, scientific and numeric data about the daily lives of children around the world.
Anyone in the world can browse the site and see the children's work. Only project participants can contribute work to the site. To become a project participant you need to be a teacher or pupil in a SchoolNet Global registered school.
