Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Stevens Initiative: Global Learning In & Out of the Classroom
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
We know that educators and youth organizers are looking for innovative learning opportunities that allow young people to expand their worldview and develop social emotional skills, including curiosity, empathy, and a sense of wellbeing. This webinar will highlight three new Stevens Initiative-funded virtual exchange programs reaching middle and high school students in the U.S. and the Middle East and North Africa, both in and out of the classroom. Hear from exchange program leaders about how their programs give young people opportunities to connect, learn, and form friendships through virtual exchange.We know that educators and youth organizers are looking for innovative learning opportunities that allow young people to expand their worldview and develop social emotional skills, including curiosity, empathy, and a sense of wellbeing.
