Reengaging the World to Make United States Stronger at Home:
A Renewed Commitment to International Education
“All Americans need to be equipped with global and cultural competencies to navigate the ever-changing landscapes of education, international business, scientific discovery and innovation, and the global economy. International education enhances cultural and linguistic diversity, and helps to develop cross-cultural communication skills, foreign language competencies, and enhanced self-awareness and understanding of diverse perspectives.”
Joint Statement of Principles in Support of International Education
US Department of Education and US Department of State
July, 2021
Formal UNC World View partnerships equip more than 85 schools, K-12 districts and community college partners across North Carolina and beyond with resources and expertise to globalize their curricula and campuses and prepare globally competent students.
