Happy International Education Week 2015!

November 19, 2015 AYA Leave a Comment

Happy International Education Week 2015! This year IEW is celebrating cross-cultural exchange and global education initiatives, something that all of AYA and its participants truly value. We have asked our students to participate by sharing their culture with their community through organizing a cross-cultural potluck lunch, create a presentation or video about their home country or explore international aspects of music, dance or art and share with their local communities.

Check out our exchange students celebrating IEW 2015!

Our exchange students have prepared display boards, powerpoints and Prezi presentations. The students also prepared dishes from their countries, so everyone can have a taste of the world. They also dressed in traditional clothing and displayed their flags at school. It’s an exciting time for the exchange students and it’s a great time to build those leadership skills! – Terri, Local Coordinator, New York
