International Education Week (IEW): What is International Education Week?

An initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education, IEW promotes global learning and study abroad.
 

What is International Education Week?  When students study abroad in a country other than their own, they are engaging in international education. There are a great many benefits to studying abroad, including gaining a more global perspective, learning other languages, and experiencing other cultures. These opportunities can be attractive to employers, as well, as we move to a more global economy.

During this week, Edmonds promotes international understanding and builds support for international educational exchange with many culturally informative events.
