[Blind-international-students] Join the #BlindAbroad campaign!

[NCDE Clearinghouse]

Dear students!

The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE), a project
sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by MIUSA, is
excited to announce its #BlindAbroad campaign, aiming to increase awareness
to the blind and low vision community on the benefits of studying, teaching,
and/or volunteering abroad!

 

At the same time, we aim to raise awareness to organizations and
universities to support and promote the participation of the blind community
in international educational exchange.

campaign.

Some examples to participate are:

1)            Sharing your story if you have studied, taught, or volunteered
abroad.

2)            Reach out to blind organizations to share your story.

3)            Create a disability student group on your campus and discuss
student needs and interests, such as studying abroad!

4)            Promote the campaign on social media, using #BlindAbroad
