Five Meaningful Campaigns That Have Inspired Us This Year

International exchange programs broaden our global awareness, empower us with intercultural connections, and provide us a lifelong connection to the international community. They are important to U.S. national security, are a great public diplomacy tool, and they also have a positive economic impact on the national and local levels.

At InterExchange, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in a meaningful intercultural experience. We also believe that speaking up for what you care about matters! With our 2019 Make a Plan campaign, we’re calling out to everyone who supports the power of international exchange to speak up!

For this campaign and many of our others, we take inspiration from the powerful advocacy work other organizations, businesses, and sectors are doing. We love to see the passion of others who are also speaking up for what matters to them. Here are five meaningful campaigns that have inspired us this year.
