Sure! The goal is to promote dialog across countries around critical issues in education. So far 15 people have registered with education experiences from over 30 countries.
P2PU is an Open Education Resource. So the course is free and CC-BY. I've pasted the description below. Feel free to join us.

The course is divided into 4 modules each containing 2-3 online short videos (3-20 minutes each), optional reading, asynchronous discussions and an optional synchronous discussion (via Skype) around the following topics: - Global definitions of learning and education (June 4-10, 2012) - Cross-country education borrowing and lending (June 11-17, 2012) - Educating the whole person (June 18-24, 2012) - Creating sustainable education systems (June 25-July 1, 2012) *Learning objectives:* Participants will: - Build a personal definition of learning and education after viewing a number of education case studies from around the globe. - Discuss the merits and drawbacks of borrowing and lending education policies, procedures and curriculum across countries, relating what is learned to their personal education contexts. - Define what it means to educate the "whole person" and discuss how to integrate more holistic teaching and learning practices into their own lives. - Think about how to create and promote more "sustainable" learning ecosystems around the world. - Share their own personal education experiences, ideas and questions related to international and comparative education. *Pre-requisites:* None. This course welcomes any and all people excited to share their ideas, experiences and questions in a global and comparative context.
