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.

  1. Stevens Initiative

In the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, there was a huge demand for international virtual exchange programming to connect young people during a time of disruption and isolation. With parents, educators, and young people experiencing burnout and “Zoom fatigue” after months of continued disruption, demand for virtual exchange and virtual learning waned. Nearly a year after schools, courses, and exchanges have returned to in-person education and programming, what is the state of virtual exchange? Why does virtual exchange remain important two years into a pandemic? Educators and virtual exchange implementers will talk about the need and demand for virtual exchange, challenges and successes, and what they envision for the future.
