[nabs-l] Increase your independence through study abroad

[NCDE Clearinghouse]

     Dear NABS,

Greetings from the National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange, a 
Department Of State-funded project to get more blind and disabled people 
to study and volunteer abroad.

If you have ever thought about international exchange, or if you have 
already gone abroad, you might enjoy our latest collection of magazine 
articles and podcasts featuring tips and stories about going abroad for 
study or volunteer work. Take a look and let us know what you think on 
Facebook Mobility International USA or on twitter @MobilityINTL.

Also, if you happen to be going to next year's convention and would like 
to share about your exchange experience with fellow federationists, we 
would like to talk to you. Send me an email jharford at miusa.org.

AWAY to Africa
There's a world to explore beyond Western Europe and Australia. In the 
new issue of A World Awaits You, we talk to travelers with disabilities 
to find out what it is about the region of Sub-Saharan Africa that is 
creating a buzz of international exchange travel to and from the United 
States - and why people with disabilities should take note!

AWAY Accesses a World of Languages
In the #AccessLanguages addition of AWAY, we share stories and good 
practices to demonstrate that no student is unable to #AccessLanguages. 
Meet leading language immersion exchange organizations and learn about 
the best practices that they have used to ensure that all of their 
students can fully participate in language learning abroad.

Ripple Effects #LifeAfterExchange
They are from a variety of backgrounds. They have taken different career 
paths, but the one thing they have in common is their international 
exchange. We have an amazing lineup of interviewees this season of our 
Ripple Effects podcast. Make sure to subscribe to the podcast from 
iTunes and stay tuned for upcoming episodes.
