Making a Difference in Utah
Winner: International Education Week student contest
International Education Week (IEW) is one of the most exciting weeks of the year for PAX exchange students. Each fall, students give presentations about their home countries to groups in their host communities. Planning for International Education Week involves coming up with great ideas for presentations, deciding how many presentations to give, and figuring out who the audiences are going to be! Students discuss history, geography, traditions, and much, much more. Because it is such a highlight of their year, we have a lot of stories about IEW!
Are you looking for ideas for events during International Education Week? Our students’ creativity is inspiring! You’ll find a lot of inspiration to help with your own planning for IEW.
