This Exchange Day, you’re invited to "eat, play, and give" -- to share cultural diversity and American customs, give back to your communities, and to have some fun! Exchange Day, led by the U.S. Department of State, is a worldwide celebration of the power and impact of international exchange. This year, it happens on Monday, August 7.
Every year, thousands of international students come to the U.S. to learn more about American culture and customs, to travel and visit beautiful sites and landscapes, and to form long-lasting connections and friendships. U.S. citizens do the same when going on exchange programs to other countries.
This Exchange Day, current and former exchange participants in the U.S. and abroad - along with community stakeholders - are encouraged to join the celebration and raise awareness of international exchange programs in their communities.
You can participate in Exchange Day by finding an event near you: https://exchangeday2023.weebly.com/find-an-event-near-you.html. You can also create your own event – or, partner with a Community Support Group on an event. You can even participate virtually.
