Brooke Brummitt, Global SchoolNet's consultant for the project, put a lot of energy into Global Connections and played a major and significant part in getting it 'off the ground'. Sadly, she was taken ill at the end of January and tragically died on March 22nd 1998. She is sorely missed.

Original project partners

Global Connections began as a joint BT/MCI project, scheduled to run until June 1999. Following the breakdown of the planned BT/MCI merger, MCI withdrew from the project in June 1998. BT is continuing to support and run the project, and has extended it to June 2000.
