Huge Social Learning Network. Loads of projects already listed that you can join or you can propose a project and look for a partner school. ePals also offers its own email that is monitored. ePals also has some associations with the Smithsonian.

Not-for-profit organization that provides resources for use of video conferencing services with an emphasis on project-based learning and community outreach

The Global Nomads Group (GNG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to heightening children's understanding and appreciation for the world and its people. Using interactive technologies such as videoconferencing, GNG brings young people together face-to-face to meet across cultural and national boundaries to discuss their differences & similarities, and the world issues that affect them. ** we have a TLP grad that is running a project where students are matched with students in Afghanistan. they will have a live teleconference 5 times over the year - really amazing stuff!**

Looks like a great inter-disciplinary and mutlicultural project!
