SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES FOR NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

The following list is just a start. We encourage you to be creative in planning events for the week and let us know about your activities.

  • Encourage your governor or mayor to issue a proclamation commemorating IEW.

  • Work with local international visitor councils (more at www.nciv.org) to arrange visits by international guests to local schools and universities.

  • Spotlight IEW events through articles and broadcast coverage in the local media, industry trade journals, and organization newsletters.

  • Persuade local arts centers, theater groups, libraries and other cultural organizations to include an international component in their programs during IEW.

  • Work with a local children's museum to offer a one day mini-class in a foreign language to elementary school students.

  • Build classroom-to-classroom connections between your local schools and a school overseas via the Internet.

  • Find a Sister city/town overseas and carry out a joint activity during IEW.
