The Globe Family is Growing

The GLOBE program in Macedonia will be nine members strong, following the conference in Berovo where teachers from four new schools will be trained in the GLOBE protocols. We welcome these new schools in Berovo, Probistip, Skopje, and Strumica and look forward to the upcoming year and increased cooporation and exchange between all GLOBE schools within Macedonia.

In order to foster such exchange we encourage all GLOBE instructors to share with their students the news from the other schools within Macedonia. Networking between all the GLOBE participants allows for an exchange of ideas and for the extension of GLOBE outside of the classroom and into your communities.

Remember you can communicate with all GLOBE schools in Macedonia and around the world through their GLOBE E-mail accounts which are accessible on the GLOBE website at: www.globe.gov. Also at this site is information on web-chats and other GLOBE activities.

The following is an update on GLOBE in Macedonia.
