International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and 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 U.S.

Local AFSers will share their stories at school and community events throughout the U.S. to promote intercultural understanding and awareness. All these activities highlight the stories of AFS Exchange Students and their families, as well as those of the educators, volunteers, and community members whose lives have been touched in sharing with students and teachers from other countries and cultures. U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, said, “A complete education in the 21st century must teach our children about their interdependent world, and it must prepare them to be good leaders and good global citizens. International awareness and knowledge can help our children build the skills needed to communicate and cooperate with those from other nations and other cultures. And as they participate in international education and international exchange, our students can gain the knowledge and experiences to help them contribute to a sustainable future for all.”
