The IVECA Center supports all levels of schools and universities across the world to participate in its global collaborative learning program called IVECA (Intercultural Virtual Exchange of Classroom Activities). The program aims to promote interculturally competent global citizens for peace and sustainable development.
Programs & Projects
Through virtual teachers’ rooms, participant teachers in different countries share their lesson plan ideas, teaching strategies and their teaching viewpoints regarding intercultural understanding. Teachers’ pedagogical, intercultural and technological strategies will be exchanged to effectively enhance their students’ intercultural competence.
The Global Virtual Roundtable gives students and educators the opportunity to speak with and learn from peers around the world and offers a platform where participants can further develop their skills in inter-cultural competence. These are a fantastic opportunity for youth leaders to develop and share their voice and knowledge on a far-reaching platform.
IVECA participates and hosts partner schools at various events and conferences carried out at the UN Headquarters in New York. This incredible connection gives students and teachers an unparalleled inter-national learning experience, while exposing them to the highest level of work currently underway in the international arena.
