The Department of State and the Global SchoolNet
Foundation announce the 2008 "Doors to Diplomacy"
award competition, recognizing the student-created Global
SchoolNet Web projects that best teach others about the
importance of international affairs and diplomacy.
To qualify, middle school and high school
students will work in small teams with teacher-coaches.
Projects must be completed by March 15, 2008, and winners
will be announced in May 2008. Every team that enters a
project will receive a special "Doors to Diplomacy"
certificate recognizing their achievement. Each student
member of the two winning teams – one American and
one international – will also receive a $2,000 scholarship,
and the winning coaches’ schools will each receive
a $500 cash award.
