Who we are...

The Intercultural Education Alliance (IEA) is a global gathering of educational institutions and agencies. Its members recognize the power of their collective expertise to initiate programs and research, which will enrich the future of education and cultural collaboration.

Our primary function is to increase partnership opportunities by establishing formal links between distant universities and educational entities.  By facilitating these partnerships and networks, the IEA will serve as a vital support system to assist in reaching a wide variety of educational goals in a rapidly changing world. 

The IEA draws its strength from the ability to utilize collaborative technologies to bridge barriers that have limited the potential significance of working with culturally diverse teams. As we help construct these bridges, the IEA will foster new educational opportunities for students and educators around the globe, uniting the riches of mind and culture.

Come Join the IEA!

Join a widening alliance of universities, educational agencies, and corporate supporters for the continued gatherings of the IEA.
