Contacting EC professionals outside of the US & EC website

I have not had any success in gaining contact from the agencies I emailed. I have decided to do my own search for schools and contacts through googling schools in the United Kingdom and schools in Austrailia. I have now emailed about 4 more people and I am hoping to hear back soon. I may end up trying to call. It has been rather difficult to contact people outside of the US, especially when you are not contacting someone you know or someone that is available. It would be helpful if this course had a list of specific people that you could contact, knowing that they will most likely respond. I think that there should be some kind of forum or board (kind of like Pinterest), that will enable early childhood professionals from around the world to communicate and contact each other. I may eventually have to do the alternative to part 1.

I have decided to take a closer look at NAEYC. I think it will be a great resource and share a lot of information that I can use and learn.
