International Education Week November 16 - 20

Mark your calendars for International Education Week on November 16- 20th! International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the U.S. Department of State is part of the effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences. International Education Week offers the chance to:

Expand awareness of and interest in global issues and global learning
Collaborate with and learn from international student groups
Gain a new cultural understanding
Sample a small part of life beyond the shores of America

A variety of IEW activities will be planned by NCDPI to promote International Education Week in North Carolina. From now through #IEW2020, we are sharing several Global Education resources on NCDPI's Global Education listserv and social media! Be sure to follow NC Global Education on Facebook (@NCGLOBALED) and Twitter (@NCGLOBALED) and subscribe to the listserv to start saving and bookmarking those resources! Stay tuned for more information and resources as IEW approaches!
