JEM was initially formed in 1991 in collaboration with Soviet (now Russian) and Buckingham Friends School teachers, and now consists of permanent partner schools in Russia, India, China, Australia, Ecuador, Kenya, and Hawaii. JEM partner schools engage in yearly home-stay exchanges. Every four to five years, Buckingham Friends School hosts an Earth Summit with student and teacher representatives from all of the JEM partner schools throughout the world. The Earth Summit provides a unique opportunity for elementary-aged children to develop friendships and cultural understanding as they collaborate on joint Earth Summit projects, engage in simulation games, and discuss their environmental concerns and hopes for the future. Buckingham Friends will be hosting our fifth Earth Summit in April 2014.
