UCEA’s commitment to international collaborations has been longstanding and clear. For over 10 years, UCEA has expanded opportunities for collaboration with leadership organizations in other countries, the development of international research projects, and, more recently, travel study programs. We value international initiatives and partnerships that have emerged through individual, collective, and organizational efforts. In addition, we look forward to opportunities to learn from leaders in pK-12 and higher education around the world.
We know that many UCEA faculty have long-standing, in-depth relationships with universities and communities outside of the U.S. In planning for the fourth tour, we hope to build upon these important international collaborations that UCEA member institutions and respective faculties engage in independently. In order to do so we have developed a Call for Proposals to host UCEA’s next International Study Tour.
UCEA invites you to submit a proposal to host the 2025 International Study Tour. Interested faculty/programs should read the Call for Proposals and check out the important dates.
