One of the most exciting opportunities that the Intercultural Education
Alliance hopes to promote is helping to expand understanding and respect
for people from all nations and cultures. As we move forward into
the 21st century we find that technology has created a world that is
connected in many ways. These connections have come with the
possibilities and realities for confrontation. It is our mission to
promote unique opportunities for educators to help guide tomorrow's
leaders and provide collaborative experiences that help positively impact
our move towards a new dimension in society. The IEA is not an agent
for promoting particular agendas or political views, it is a support
structure for allowing people to communicate and participate directly with
people from other countries; with the hope that through these
opportunities friendship and respect will unite and empower people.
We have
created several cultural displays to share with participants at the IEA
Summit. We hope they will serve as an indication of the spirit of
this event and the potentials for sharing culture between peoples of the
world. Each island serves as a visual testament to the
richness of culture in our world. Each island also serve as
information portal to exciting information and educational materials that
represent some of the internets best cultural resources. Look for
the 'Exploration Station' kiosks on each island to access these resources. |
