What is International Education Week?
International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. A joint initiative of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, The Forum on Education Abroad, and the Association of International Education Administrators, it showcases programs that prepare students and communities to study, learn and exchange global perspectives. The annual event also highlights and promotes the opportunity to experience new cultures. Learn more about IEW at NAFSA.
