U.S. Embassy Promotes International Education Week
Throughout Serbia and Montenegro

The week of November 17-21 will be celebrated as “International Education Week” by the U.S. the Department of State and Department of Education throughout the world. To highlight opportunities for study in the United States, a number of presentations and panel discussions will take place in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Nis and Podgorica from Nov. 18-21.

In a statement on the occasion of this year’s International Education Week, Secretary of State Colin Powell said: “We are all students of the world we live in, and today, our world is more interdependent than ever before. The challenges we face in areas such as security, democratic development, economics, and health cannot be addressed by any country acting alone. International education – learning about other cultures and languages through study, living overseas, and interacting with people of other countries – promotes the free exchange of ideas, allows us to seek joint solutions to problems, and helps create lasting partnerships to meet our shared concerns.”

Ambasada SAD promoviše međunarodnu nedelju obrazovanja
u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori

Stejt Dipartment i Ministarstvo obrazovanja SAD obeležiće širom sveta nedelju od 17. do 21. novembra kao “Međunarodna nedelja obrazovanja”. Na brojnim prezentacijama i panel diskusijama od 18. do 21. novembra u Beogradu, Novom Sadu, Kragujevcu, Nišu i Podgorici predstaviće se mogućnosti za studiranje u Sjedinjenim Državama.

U izjavi povodom ovogodišnje Međunarodne nedelja obrazovanja, državni sekretar Kolin Pauel je rekao: “Mi smo svi studenti sveta u kome živimo i danas je naš svet povezaniji nego ikada ranije. Izazovi sa kojima se suočavamo u oblastima bezbednosti, demokratskog razvoja, ekonomije i zdravstva ne odnose se samo na pojedinačne zemlje. Međunarodno obrazovanje – učenje o drugim kulturama i jezicima kroz studiranje, boravak u drugim zemljama, i interakcija sa ljudima iz drugih zemalja – promoviše slobodnu razmenu ideja, omogućava pronalaženje zajedničkih rešenja problema i pomaže stavaranje trajnih partnerstava kojima se suočavamo sa našim zajedničkim problemima”.
