International
Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international
education and exchange worldwide. Since
its inception in 2000, International Education Week (IEW) has grown in size and
scope to become a global event, with students, educators, and community leaders
participating in a wide range of activities to celebrate the benefits of
internationalism in our classrooms and educational systems.
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 in the United States.

Voices from El-Sayed
Description: El-Sayed,
a Bedouin village nestled in the scenic landscape of the Negev Desert, is home
to the largest community of deaf people in the world. Here deafness is seen not
as a disability but as a natural part of life. The hearing and the deaf
coexist easily in this remote society, but when one father, Salim, decides to
get a cochlear implant for his son Muhammad, members of the tightly knit
community have distinct, strong opinions. For Muhammad, the road to
hearing is long, painful, and garbled. His journey is further complicated
by the fact El-Sayed lies outside of Israel’s electric infrastructure, making
it nearly possible for his parents to main the implant’s functionality.
With appropriately creative uses of sound, Voices from El-Sayed brings
this unique community to life in such a way that we understand how the gift of
hearing may feel like the loss of community and identity. Free
food! Food served is Kosher.
