I*EARN Australia consists of teachers and students from all States and Territories in Australia and from around the world, trying to create low-cost, people centred, telecommunications models to demonstrate that elementary and secondary students can make a meaningful contribution to the health and welfare of our planet and its peoples. The work of this group never ceases to amaze. Dedicated volunteers that are focussed on the I*EARN principals of peaceful collaboration and making a difference. The difference with this network, as opposed to many others is that they very often, and with great impact, achieve their goals!

I*EARN International

Founded by Peter Copen, Ed Gragert, Daniel Reyes and an amazing team of international educators, The International Education and Resource Network has remained one of the few truly global networks that enables young people to undertake projects designed to make a meaningful contribution to the health and welfare of the planet and its people. No doubt the struggle to maintain a complex organisation of volunteers and dedicated individuals means varied success in their endeavours, but this group is worth SERIOUS attention by those wishing to see a glimpse of the paradigm required to move us forward.

At its best, there is no equal to the I*EARN Model.
