About IEW:
International Education Week (IEW), November 16-20, 2020, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is an effort to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
About the Event:
In this workshop for international students and postdocs, facilitators will discuss how society and our unique cultural experiences may teach us to ignore our body’s basic signals such as hunger, tiredness, thirst, need for play, and desire to move, and how this harms our overall wellness.
