Dear Friends:
Unfortunately, this summer, there probably won't be much in the way of study abroad programs, due to COVID-19. That's why this unique online, virtual international exchange for high school students sounds like a really great alternative. Take a look - and share with those who might have an interest.
The Experiment Digital
Program Dates: June 22-August 16, 2020
Application Deadline: April 15, 2020
The Experiment Digital is a fully-funded two-month virtual exchange program for high school students from the United States and their peers in Iraq, Algeria, Yemen, and other countries in the Middle East region. This program is designed to prepare participants to be more civically engaged and to lead change. Participants interact through videos, discussion forums, online chats, webinars, and games. Through these activities, participants develop leadership and cross-cultural communication skills, speak with peers from different countries, and design youth-led projects to create positive social change. The program is open to 14-19 year old high school students, who have basic English competency and have regular access to the internet. Students will need to devote 4 hours per week to the program, and can participate from anywhere. The Experiment Digital is funded by the US Department of State and administered by World Learning.
