This school year, you can embark on virtual exchange journeys with travelers, explorers--or both! One-to-one virtual exchange journeys are with college students or recent college graduates (travelers) who will share their experiences abroad with your classroom on a one-to-one basis. These virtual exchanges last between six and 12 weeks and educators have the chance to work closely with their matched traveler to shape the traveler's experiences abroad into classroom content. Video calls between traveler and classroom typically take place privately on the platform that works best for both parties. One-to-many virtual exchange journeys are with scientists and other professionals on expeditions (explorers) who will share their experiences abroad with your classrooms and others on a one-expedition-to-many-classrooms basis. Most of these virtual exchanges last between four and eight weeks, with a select few lasting longer. Reach the World connects classrooms with expeditions through livestreams and recorded, closed video calls to make them accessible to as many classrooms as possible. For more information about Reach the World's specific one-to-many expeditions, please visit about.reachtheworld.org/explore.


1 classroom + 1 traveler = 1 match!

Just A Few More Questions Before Departure!
Extra Credit: Help Reach the World bring the world into even more classrooms! We can only increase our impact through the support of educators like you.





PLEASE NOTE:

Reach the World is proud to be a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We expand our work and deepen our impact throughout North America through generous support from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners. Thanks to this generosity, many Reach the World virtual exchange programs are free to teachers!


However, some of our programming is dependent on a subsidized fee paid by educators to help us defray the costs of delivering our program. If you choose a fee-based program, the RTW team will work with you to maximize the impact of our program while minimizing the cost to you. As a nonprofit organization, we will never turn away a classroom due to budgetary constraints. Trust us, there is a way to fit Reach the World into any budget!


If you have specific questions about the program's cost or the billing process, please email educators@reachtheworld.org.
