Dear Chapter Leaders,



As some of you may remember, we ran a pilot program in LAC last year,
called Chapterthon. It was a project marathon between Chapters in the
region to encourage Chapter members to engage and find innovative solutions
around the issue of "Connectivity". The winner was the Venezuela Chapter.
Check out the video
<http://www.internetsociety.org/lac-chapterthon-winner-venezuela-chapter>
of the project.



Based on this successful experience, this year we have decided to take the
Chapterthon to the global level. We hope you are ready to take up the
challenge!

This year's theme will directly contribute to the UN Sustainable
Development Goal on Quality Education (UN SDG 4
<http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals/goal-4-quality-education.html>)
. We will therefore be looking for projects that will benefit schools and
students around the world. You can find details about the challenge here:
