As the country coordinator and an educator it really helped me to see and learn how things work and how well people in different countries can collaborate and work together virtually. As a person it granted me a unique opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn about different cultures.

The youth summit made an impact on me because it made think outside the box and come up with ideas about how to help other students around the world. In the United States, we are given so many opportunities and it startled me to discover how little others have. The Youth Summit has fed my interest to pursue International Affairs in college and perhaps address issues of global poverty. 

I will be piloting a project in which peer tutors from my school are matched with students in Turkey who need tutoring in math and english. I learned about many helpful platforms and will use these to facilitate online tutoring. 

It was five days of peace, love, and collaboration.  The 2017 iEARN International Conference in Marrakech, Morocco delivered a constant flow of beautifully touching and joyful moments.

I’m still day dreaming about the planned and organized iEARN conference. A conference attended by young and old from various parts of the world, I loved the real global collaboration and global citizenship. The projects extended the scope of my professional abilities... I haven’t stopped thinking about how warm and how open the participants were. It was wonderful to be among kindred souls for a brief time.

"I was able to learn from many different people from across the world, including students, teachers and many other activist from many different countries. I created many friendship. From the conference, I have created lots of connections which I share ideas and learn from many others."
