International Education Week

International Education Week is held in the United States by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education during the week before Thanksgiving; the week is November 15–19 in 2010, November 14–18 in 2011, and November 12–16 in 2012. The aims of this event are to provide an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and global exchange.This joint initiative promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global milieu and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the U.S. This shows how International education is not just about physically crossing borders, but is also about thinking globally in local situations. Schools throughout the US celebrate this week through on-campus and off-campus events.
