Today education is experiencing wave after wave of reforms. In order to improve quality of education, different organizations have been operating across the world. iEARN is one of such networks that aim at bringing the world educationally together through Internet. iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) is a non-profit organization that presently has over 15,000 schools actively working for the improvement of education in 100 countries. iEARN empowers teachers and young people to work together online using the Internet and other new communications technologies. Approximately 750,000 - 1,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work worldwide.
Since 1988, iEARN has pioneered on-line school linkages to enable students to engage in meaningful educational projects with peers in their countries and around the world.
iEARN is:

• an inclusive and culturally diverse community
• a safe and structured environment in which young people can communicate
• an opportunity to apply knowledge in service-learning projects
• a community of educators and learners making a difference as part of the educational process

If we see the past, iEARN is not new to Nepal since some people were working for some years. It is known to the teachers and students only after the First National Workshop of iEARN that was held at Nobel Academy in April 2004. The iEARN trainers from Pakistan and Bangladesh facilitated the Three-Day Workshop. Binita Nepal, the country coordinator of iEARN Nepal played a vital role for the success of the program. About 25 teachers from the valley and two teachers from Rupandehi district were trained to be the iEARN trainers of Nepal. After that Nobel academy conducted a One-Day Workshop for its teachers.

Nobel Academy is a part of such a global wave school. The students can directly involve in collaborative works with the students all over the world. The Cultural amalgamation of the students at Nobel helps to produce sound human resources for the nation.

Nobel in the ENO

ENO-Environment Online is a global web school for environmental awareness. Four environmental themes (dimensions of sustainable development ) are studied within a school year ( Social, Natural, Cultural Environment and a sustainable way of living ) on a weekly basis. ENO Program is a strong and active network of schools. It has been running since 2000 and it is administrated by the city of Joensuu, Finland. ENO has received support from National Board Of Education and European Commission.

The main idea is to lay emphasis on local environment and see it in a global aspect: act locally - think globally. Information will be gathered from local communities and shared together in the website. Learning is student-centred, both online and offline activities. At the end of each theme there is a campaign week when students share their results and raise them up in their local communities. They become eventually ambassadors for environment
Nobel Academy is taking part to ENO (Environment Online). ENO programme is a global web school for environmental awareness and sustainable development where currently 181 schools in 68 countries study environmental issues through out the school year on a weekly basis.
