Global Partners in Education (GPE) is an East Carolina University led membership organization of Higher Education Institutions that are committed to providing their students opportunities for meaningful and impactful international education experiences through Global Virtual Exchange (GVE). Our goal is to prepare our students to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world by providing greater access to experiences that help them improve the intercultural communication and collaboration skills necessary to effectively navigate culturally diverse environments.
Our programming helps students better understand both themselves and their place in the world as well as how to understand, respect and effectively collaborate with individuals from diverse cultures. Through real time interactions with partner students from multiple countries, students develop intercultural communication skills, learn to value others’ perspectives and acquire strategies for effectively working together to complete projects.
Global Partners in Education is forward looking and innovative as it builds a global community that promotes intercultural skill building. GPE member institutions around the world are committed to using Global Virtual Exchange to give their students meaningful global experiences so they can thrive in today's interconnected world. All partners commit to offering at least one GPE course per year, but most do more.
Join us for the 19th Annual Global Partners in Education Conference online. We invite teachers, technical support, administrators, and students from GPE partner institutions and other interested parties to join us for this important knowledge sharing and networking event.
