"fax!" is a European educational program which encourages European schoolgoers to participate in media production at the European level by enabling them to produce a multi-lingual newspaper by fax. The project entails a diversified range of activities in accordance with the teaching objectives and strategy of the school itself: educational technology, the fostering of an awareness of Europe and media studies. The three years of experimentation are outlined: background; project development (November 1989-August 1992); the transition from project status to a program with its own management structures; methodology and planning; the working environment; and a discussion on how to participate in "fax!." The benefits of the program include helping students develop a critical attitude towards the media, providing a lesson in responsibility, and making communication accessible. Appendices include: the "fax!" charter; the principle links in Europe; issue themes and languages used in "fax!"; project scope and development; publication techniques; sample data sheets; examples of collaboration and similar experiments; resources, references, and tools; and press coverage.
