The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) will celebrate International Education Week (IEW) from November 12th to 16th, 2018. IEW is an initiative of the U.S. Departments of State and Education that promotes the benefits of international education and exchange programs worldwide. During IEW, AIT will host and participate in many education-related events. AIT’s social media platforms will also have special IEW content.
