AEE International
The international affiliation group offers a community for international members who do not have a region to belong to given the current set-up of the association. The international affiliation creates a “region” for the members outside of North America. Additionally, the group is committed to providing international members with a venue to share their perspectives and ideas with the primarily North American-centric association, and also allows those in North America to better learn from and share with the international community.
The underlying purpose of the group is to appreciate the global nature of experiential education and deliver upon that value of encompassing diverse perspectives by enriching opportunities for AEE members across the globe. The international affiliation group strives:
- to allow for a stronger voice for international AEE members;
- to provide better international EE perspective to the Association;
- to enrich AEE by connecting other international EE-related organizations;
- to contribute to greater networking opportunities that efficiently and effectively connect AEE members with one another (across the globe, but also across an international region such as SE Asia)
There is already an active international listserv (created after the St. Paul conference) distributing news to potential members, and connecting members throughout the world. We would hope to continue this listerv, and enlarge its scope and function as membership grows. If you'd like to join the email list for this group, please send an email to jimrogers111@gmail.com. Additionally, we would hope to start a membership database and create a quarterly newsletter (as a PDF sent electronically). From all of these we could also feed into AEE publications such as The Horizon, and network to create research projects that may then feed articles in to the JEE.
