Democracy at Work: Bridging Communities, Creating Change Video Competition

International Exchange Conference

The Democracy at Work competition invites CIEE BridgeUSA participants to showcase the tangible impact they've had on their U.S. communities and/or vice versa, emphasizing the transformative power of international exchange. Participants are encouraged to express their experiences creatively, whether through visual arts, storytelling, multimedia presentations, or any other medium that best captures their unique journey.

The winner will receive a trip to the CIEE International Exchange Conference 2024 being held in early October in Washington D.C., a premier gathering of global leaders, educators, and advocates in the field of international exchange!  This conference provides an unparalleled platform for networking, professional development, and sharing best practices in fostering cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.
