International Education Week (IEW): A week in November
International Education Week is a celebration of intercultural exchange and learning. During the week, YES, FLEX and CBYX students are required to present at least once during the International Education Week in their classroom or local community. This is a great opportunity to teach Americans about the home country and culture and to promote ECA programs for Americans to go abroad on an exchange. This initiative is run in conjunction with the Department of State. Visit this article for more information and resources to prepare for the presentation.
