The Power of International Education & Exchange: Japan, the United States and the World
2021-11-16 19:00 - 20:30
In celebration of International Education Week, please join the Japan ICU Foundation and the US-Japan Bridging Foundation for a webinar titled The Power of International Education & Exchange: Japan, the United States and the World. International education and exchange has the potential to transform people. The experience of crossing cultural, national and linguistic boundaries leads to a keener awareness of the world and of the self.
As the world emerges from the global pandemic, students, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners are once again starting to travel abroad. Developing and reaffirming meaningful personal and institutional relationships across borders is critically important in a post-pandemic world. Join our distinguished group of panelists in a discussion that explores the power of international education and exchange within the context of Japan, the United States and the world.Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vwk8KlIwQEe2e9fqR4Wk7A?fbclid=IwAR2PlqZlarVWPoeO0aWHYrz0Rt_IMXo4QMuKdk_8M-9WiE5rGbzsD4RkMcg
