My name is John Eischied and I am working for CIVITAS. We publish a Web site called Civnet. It is an international resource of teaching materials, news briefs, and commentary for civic education practitioners. Civnet is part of the CIVITAS inititiative dedicated to promoting civic education worldwide. and is accessed by thousands of people every week in over 110 countries.

I am creating a comprehensive email list of people interested in distributing and receiving free educational materials such as lesson plans, syllabi, curricula, national standards and textbooks in any language. People on this list will also receive Civnet News and Civnet Journal of Civil Society. Civnet News contains news about civil society and updates on events. Civent Journal contains articles from renowned journalists and scholars, as well as practical articles for non-government organizations that focus on civic education. If you want to be on this list, please let me know by using email or telephone.

I am also assembling a database of educators and organizations promoting civic education, civic journalism, democracy and citizenship. I would appreciate it if you could email me the following information about you and any other organizations you feel might be interested:

Name
Title
Organization
City
Country
Telephone Number
Email Address
Web site address (if applicable)

If you have any educational materials in electronic format or articles on teaching, we encourage you to send them. Any language is acceptable. If any of the material is copyrighted, or should contain a disclaimer, please let me know.

Please look at Civnet. The address is "www.civnet.org". Our international readers include educators, NGOs, think tanks, and policymakers. All of them find Civnet indispensible.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

John Eischeid
