Through the educational use of the new emerging technologies, our program not only offers its participants excitement, renewal, and the sharing of renewed life goals, it also offers the chance to make a difference in this world through the learning and discussion of the Millennium Development Goals! IPHEM is teamed up with Brainbridge Institute, to feature several tours of self discovery and development and exchange programs that are open to everyone of all ages! Besides the fun and special bonding that our fellow discoverers will nurture on these excursions a new time can emerge from the creation of these new "world citizens".

Through the use of new and emerging technologies, our program not only offers participants the opportunity to set/renew and share life goals, but also the chance to make a difference in this world through learning and discussing the "global goals for the millennium." IPHEM has partnered with the Bainbridge Institute to create integration and interecAmbio courses for all ages. In addition to the lifelong learning and excitement that comes from these projects, our fellows create bonds that will unite them on this journey of discovery and help create healthy and sustainable global citizenship. .

The program will have students from different disciplines of the health care (Medical doctors, nurses and Phycology) to be integrated in research projects and to be supervised by an international staff as a consortium.

This program is based on the experience of Dr Sonia Midleton from Unirio, Dr Wilson Bonfim from IPHEM and Wilhiam herkelrath and supervised in Brazil by Jairo Werner and in USA by Bill herkelrath.

The two institutes to held the program are

IPHEM and Bainbridge

We will pick up 5 students from that will apply to twitter, blogging and skype. The students will share experiences through virtual classes and monthly meetings. They will be engaged in a virtual forum to discuss up to date global issues. They will lead a weekly blog and have one yearly visit to the other international campus.

They will use iphones and follow common virtual classes and talk as many times as possible via twitter. Their tweets will be private until the end of the experiment.
