 People here at the Institute of Education, University of London, are
interested in this. There are two projects - one 
between UCB and IOE using schoolchildren in the US
and London, and another between City College New York and London. 
I understand that the UCB link project has in effect finished now, but
I will forward this to the person concerned here at IOE.

The New York Global Email project is the subject of a meeting here at
IOE very shortly. The idea is to encourage interest from London schools
with support from us.
I will forward your enquiry to them as well.

Cheers

Lindsay Wakeman
