Dear colleagues! The US Department of State, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Office of Private Sector Exchange Programs, and the American Councils for International Education announce the opening of applications for participation in the "BridgeUSA: Exchange Program for Ukrainian Teachers" program.
“BridgeUSA: Exchange Program for Ukrainian Teachers" will promote the development of relationships between Ukrainian and American teachers and researchers for the purpose of joint research, exchange of pedagogical experience, development of training courses, as well as publication of scientific works.
Teachers participating in the program will collaborate with mentor colleagues from US universities, with whom they will jointly develop individualized programs. These programs will be aimed at supporting participants as researchers and educators seeking to strengthen Ukraine's potential for reconstruction. "BridgeUSA: Exchange Program for Ukrainian Teachers" provides for visits of participants to US universities lasting 1 month, during which Ukrainian male and female teachers, together with mentor colleagues from the USA, will be able to conduct scientific research, observe the conduct of classes in their discipline, develop new courses or course materials, give presentations and lectures, research the administrative policies and academic culture of US universities, and attend conferences on topics in their academic fields.
Most of the Ukrainian teachers will visit during the fall semester of 2024. In some cases, teachers will be able to travel to host institutions in the spring or summer of 2024.
