AsiaPacificEd Program
AsiaPacificEd helps educators and students in the United States and their counterparts in the Asia Pacific region develop mutual knowledge and understanding as well as skills and dispositions needed to work together to create a sustainable world. We do this in the following ways:
- We provide real-world learning opportunities in Asia for U.S. educators and students to develop a multifaceted understanding of the region and personal connections.
- We bring school leaders, teachers, and students from Asia to the United States to foster cross-cultural partnerships and exchange.
- We provide a meeting ground – through workshops, institutes, and symposia – where educators and students come together across cultures, regions, and disciplines to share perspectives and best practices in teaching and learning.
- We engage U.S. and Asian schools in community service projects that enable participants to act at a concrete and local level to promote environmental stewardship, social justice and responsibility, diversity, and peacemaking.
- We serve as a resource for excellence in Asia Pacific and global education.
In short, AsiaPacificEd provides multiple paths to professional, academic, and personal development for educators and students to build knowledge, understanding, and skills for a sustainable future. Click here to learn how you can take part in learning that makes a lasting difference.
