Gec 2013

The fourth annual Global Education Conference, a free week-long online event bringing together educators and innovators from around the world, will be held Monday, November 18-22, 2013 (November 23 in some time zones).

iEARN educators, youth, and other partners are invited to submit proposals that share examples and collaborative projects related to connecting classrooms and youth programs, with a strong emphasis on promoting global awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards solving real-world problems.

iEARN-USA is again a supporting partner of the conference, in honor of International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.

Proposal deadline is November 15.  iEARN participants are requested to tag proposals with "2013iEARN" so that they can be included in the iEARN calendar of activities.
