5/6J we talk about accepting everyone as our friends to learn from through education. As global student members of iEARN you are learning so much form collaboration.
Last fall, we introduced the Christopher Stevens Youth Network, an Exchange 2.0effort that will offer complementary physical and virtual exchanges for 10,000 students and 400 educators in 20 countries. iEARN will support online project-based learning focused on eight thematic units: conflict resolution and peace education, the environment, civic education, social entrepreneurship, empowering girls and young women, food security, health, and literacy and education.
This spring, four teachers taking the new Chris Stevens Youth Network online course shared their thoughts:

Even since I became a full-fledged iEARNer, I have discovered that what unites us outweighs our differences and discords. I have found out that we face the same challenges and we share the same aspirations, the same hopes, and the same dreams. My students and I have been stunned by the warmth and generosity of all the community. Now, we refer to a Thai…

I think that bridges need to be built because people need to travel across entrances to sea so the can get to other places like Phillip Island! It is a Island that you can get to! But the only way to get there by car is to cross a car bridge! That is a thought! Also San-Francisco because cars have to cross bridges to get to Islands or even really close countries that bridges can reach across! I think peoples goals are trying to make bridges reach far away countries so not so many lives are at stake if there is a plane crash! I think it would be a good idea to do that but I need to admit! It would take a long time to do though! They would have to make Gas Stations on the bridge to so they could get Gas while there driving too so it would take even longer to build! Just imagine what else they would have to put on a bridge from one country to the other! They would have to build lots of Hotels so people who are crossing any bridge to sleep somewhere than there car! They would be very saw! So I would be much better with just flying to other countries far far away! But the question is that if you agree! Who ever read this post, pleases agree not to build a bridge miles and miles long just to get to other country! I want to be a builder when I am older and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life just building a bridge! That would be stupid! So I do agree that it is important to build bridges because if the place you want is on a Island and you want to get there quicker! A bridge is the perfect way to travel to Places On Islands! But don’t think to far out of the box so you don’t build the bridge too big like I said earlier! But you don’t have to worry about building bridges if you don’t want to be a builder! So don’t worry about it, if you aren’t a builder of course!
