The United Nations Cyberschoolbus was created in 1996 as the online
education component of the Global Teaching and Learning Project, whose
mission is to promote education about international issues and the
United Nations. The Global Teaching and Learning Project produces high
quality teaching materials and activities designed for educational use
(at primary, intermediate and secondary school levels) and for
training teachers. The vision of this Project is to provide
exceptional educational resources (both online and in print) to
students growing up in a world undergoing increased globalization. The
Global Teaching and Learning Project is part of the Outreach Division
of the United Nations Department of Public Information.

The UN Cyberschoolbus captures the growing potential of the Internet
as an educational tool and provides an effective medium with which to
disseminate information and resources about international affairs, as
well as bring together diverse communities of students and educators
from around the world. Within the Cyberschoolbus site there are a
number of activities and projects that teach students about global
issues in an interactive, engaging and fun way.
