Description:
Virtual exchange allows young people to collaborate with peers across the globe, creating a space to connect, apply learnings, and activate on topics such as language learning, STEM, civic engagement, entrepreneurship, and more. This session features distinguished virtual exchange alumni who will discuss how these unique experiences enhanced their ability to bridge cultures as active learners, sharpened the skills necessary for the global workforce [cultural acuity, problem solving, etc.,] and expanded their desires to become dedicated global citizens beyond the classroom.
