International Education Week
November 16 - 20, 2020
Join us 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 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. Stay tuned for more information as IEW approaches! #IEW2020
