Alliance for International Education

Welcome to AIE

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I warmly welcome you to the Alliance for International Education and our website.

For 25 years, we have worked to connect individuals, organisations and institutions committed to global awareness, intercultural understanding and social justice. Through our conferences and other forums, we promote collaborative and critical exploration of ideas, concepts and knowledge that can lead to meaningful action.

Amid sustained and far-reaching global disruption, the AIE creates opportunities to debate and explore new ideas, respond to emerging challenges and make the most of new opportunities. We invite you to join us, because the power of community—built through shared capacity and commitment—can make a lasting difference.

Our eleven conferences to date have been designed to transform thinking, encourage debate and challenge the status quo. We value practical action because it is through what we do that we make a difference within our respective spheres of influence. The AIE offers a safe space to explore ideas, challenge and be challenged, and build open, creative partnerships while reflecting on the role of international mindedness in an ever-changing world.

The AIE values partnership because a vibrant coalition of people and ideas offers the greatest potential for impact. We seek new models of collaboration, supported by technology that enables more diverse connections and synergies than ever before. We encourage individuals, groups and organisations to contribute to our mission; details are available on this website.

As the world changes, we must also adapt so that we can continue creating opportunities to exchange ideas and build valued partnerships. We therefore actively seek discussions and workshops that explore how best to engage those who wish to examine the key themes shaping the future of international education.

Our upcoming 12th Global Conference will be held at ACS Athens, under the theme Educating for an Unpredictable World: Challenges for International Education

We invite those committed to the principles of international education—and responsible for putting them into practice—to gather in The Hague. Together, we explored how to use our collective experience, resources, partnerships and communities to address the challenges and opportunities reflected in the conference theme.
