SnowBlog: Letter of support
Today we received a letter of support from the MIT (yep that is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for the SnowBlog project.
MIT LINC, the Learning International Networks Consortium, an MIT - managed international initiative has launched the"Greater Middle East e-Learning initiative", a multi-nation shared e-learning system managed by MIT, to elevate the educational levels of high school science teachers and eventually high school students in the Muslim countries of theGreater Middle East, including the Palestinian Authorities and Israel. Our main goal is to build a strong community of learners across national and cultural boundaries, leading hopefully to growing shared desire for knowledge, peace andprosperity in the region. There is no substitute for person to person interchange in order to increase understanding and mutual respect.
Your educational initiative, connecting Palestinian and Israeli High School students, emphasizing environment andscientific literacy as the major common theme, is definitely a complementary "bottom up" educational effort to the MIT LINC "Greater Middle East initiative", a needed preparatory stage in conflict areas.
Well, if the MIT sees the possibilities, I guess some others will see it too!
Congrats Gal, Yakir and others for the efforts.
