Join a widening
alliance of universities, educational agencies, and corporate supporters
for the inaugural gatherings of the Intercultural Education Alliance (IEA)
.
The purpose of the events is to promote
collaborations and networking between institutions and educational
organizations in a more global educational landscape. To find more
information about this exciting opportunity please visit the IEA’s website
at
www.aweduserve.org/iea
. We also hope
that you will reach out to other educational groups and
intercultural/international organizations that you have contact with to
promote this event and help foster the opportunities that can come from
this effort. Substantial effort is already underway with many educational
technology and international education agencies to make this a special
gathering. We have invited many International Education Week
programs to join this special global gathering online. Come share
the experience of a world connected in virtual worlds!
The Keynote address for
Summit 2003 will be made by James Burke, noted Science Historian,
Author, TV Host and Producer. The culmination of the conference will be a
‘live’ hookup to the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and
Research (SIETAR) conference being held in Austin, Texas in conjunction
with the IEA Summit. The Summit will consist of two dates (November 21,
2003 & December 12, 2003 – 3:30-6:30 pm EST). We are looking for a Keynote
person for the second meeting.
This will
be an online (virtual) summit. An awe-inspiring space is being
constructed in Active Worlds, a 3-D interactive environment that will
serve as a focal technology tool for many events and collaborations
between IEA members (See images of this unique online environment
throughout the IEA website). This technology is also a wonderful
tool for connecting students online in a environment that abounds with
opportunity for communicating visually and verbally, truly the next step
in helping shape a global community. |
