International Education Week (IEW) is November 13-17! IEW is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of intercultural education and exchange, and we’d love your help to continue our mission of #CreatingGlobalCitizens. IEW is a great opportunity for volunteers to reach out to educators and give presentations in their schools and communities. We encourage you to use our Volunteer to Educator Email Generator and IEW Outreach Letter!
AFS-USA current hosted students have been encouraged to participate through presentations and social media, and you can find details at afsusa.org/student-life. Students will also be receiving two mailings – one with an IEW t-shirt, and one with IEW promotional materials! We have reached out to returnees, host families, and educators with resources and tools they can use during IEW and beyond. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for engaging with your community and fostering intercultural education. AFS would not be where it is today without dedicated volunteers like you.
