Funded by the United States Information Agency, the GTP-Georgia/Russia Exchange Program links two networks of schools participating in the Global Thinking Project. The project has exchanged more than 260 American and Russian secondary students and teachers during the past two years.
The goal of the GTP-Georgia/Russia Exchange is to promote communication and understanding between students in Georgia (USA) and Russia through collaborative study, discussion, and action on local environmental problems. Through collaboration at a distance using telecommunications, and through face-to-face meetings, we aim to enhance the American and Russian students' awareness of each others' needs, difficulties and points of view, and to enable them to work side-by-side in each others' communities on environmental action projects of mutual concern.
