An emerging aspect of civic engagement is the understanding that the civic role can
extend beyond the borders of nation-states. The Internet's ability to transcend both time and

other countries and cultures. Some five percent of the sites in this study explore global
affairs or foster international understanding among youth.

website that enables young people to learn about and engage in global collaborative projects. Please take
