Education Abroad in the MENA

Where will we be this week?

From tomorrow through Friday, we'll be at both Diversity Abroad's Global Inclusion Conference and NAFSA's Biregional IV and V Conference. Reach out to schedule a meeting or catch us there to discuss MENA programming.

Also, we'll be at Dickinson for their Study Abroad Fair this Wednesday evening. See you there!

We are ending 2024 with a look towards the future. We sincerely believe that studying abroad in general, and particularly on our programs, creates opportunities for participants both on program and in their future lives and endeavors. Whether those opportunities are for personal growth, cultural learning, or future volunteering or employment, our programs open new doors for our participants. We frequently say that the program experience doesn’t end when the participant goes home, but that the post-program reflection is equally as important as the program itself. We hope that our participants take what they learn, continue to reflect, and carry their experiences with them as they enter into new chapters of their lives. As we wrap up our year’s reflection on the “Future we want” we are inspired by the ways in which our participants and alumni use what they learn to make positive change in their own communities, take on interesting and meaningful careers, advocate for change, and think critically about the world around them and their place in it.

We're heading to Philadelphia tomorrow for Temple's Annual Study Abroad Fair. Stop by our table to hear about study abroad opportunities in the MENA with Amideast, and don't forget to pick up some swag while you're there!
