The 2023 iEARN Virtual Project Exhibition was a great showcase of student Collaboration!

We were so honored to connect with the iEARN global community at the 2023 Virtual Project Exhibition. During two sessions on May 25, students and educators from around the world presented their outstanding project work, collaborations, and outcomes. Below are some stats that illustrate the impact of this event, which has become a very special annual tradition. If you weren't able to join, but would like to view the inspiring presentations for yourselves, links to the video recordings on our YouTube channel and images from the event are also below.

We wish to thank our guest hosts, iEARN educator Ekaterina Bozdogan and her students, Ela and Beren, from Turkey. We also wish to thank the following presenters, along with their students. It was truly amazing to hear directly from the students about the incredible project work they engaged in this past year, and how that work made a difference in their lives and their local and global communities!

If you missed out on presenting at the 2023 VPE, but are interested in participating in a future VPE, please be on the lookout for our call for submissions around March/April of next year. Keep in mind the following criteria as you prepare your proposal:

• iEARN Project - The project must be an official iEARN project housed within the Collaboration Centre.
• Quality of Media - If using video, try to keep the video to under five minutes, checking the audio quality. For powerpoints and photos, make sure that you have permission to use the photos and images are not copy-written.
• Project Story - Does your project submission include a clear description of the activities completed and the connection with the SDGs? We encourage participants to share their whole project process including how they did the project, why the project is important, and final outcomes.
• Exchange Story - Does your submission reflect your cultural exchange experience in connecting with global partners? Presentations that include project partners, examples of collaboration, and represent work completed by multiple classes are encouraged.
• Student Voice - We love to give students the opportunity to present during the exhibition! If it's not possible for students to join, submissions that include student voice, such as students recording messages or student quotes, will be prioritized.
