Institute for International Education Diplomacy

ACEI's first education diplomacy training program a success

Participants at ACEI's inaugural institute spent 4 1/2 days of intensive training in international education diplomacy, learning about and discussing issues associated with international relations, human rights, international development, and international education policy.

Overall, the institute was a success. The participants hope to carry the momentum generated during the program into post-institute discussion and collaboration in order to further the concept of education diplomacy through teaching and action.

International Education Diplomacy is an emerging concept that helps education professionals bridge the divide between interpersonal, intercultural, cross-disciplinary, and often cross-political discourse and engage in a deeper level of knowledge sharing about education systems and practices worldwide. Ultimately, education diplomacy helps educators to understand their role in advancing education globally. In an increasingly interconnected world, it is critical to acquire skills that advance sustainable solutions for global education challenges.
