Good Hopes Project

Students and teachers from Iran, the United States and guest countries will develop online projects to promote dialogue, collaboration, partnership and friendship as they share historical, cultural, and personal perspectives.

Good Hopes aims to promote dialogue, collaboration and partnership in countries not officially engaged in constructive relations. By using the Information and Communication Technologies, Good Hopes provides an environment for learners and educators of these countries to explore commonalities, to resolve misconceptions, to appreciate differences, to build common understanding and trust, and to inspire creativity in one another. Through a continuous process of exploration, collaboration and learning from each other, Good Hopes thus works towards new beginnings in people-to-people relations.
