IIE Blog: My Town, Our World: A New Virtual Exchange Initiative for Secondary Schools

Daniel Obst, IIE Deputy Vice President, shares about a new virtual exchange program, My Town, which engages secondary students from around the world in a dialogue about their home towns. My Town is structured around interactive, competitive projects that explore and share features of each other’s community. "This innovative program represents a promising new development in international exchange," writes Obst. "Virtual exchanges can significantly expand the reach of global youth engagement."
