We’re teaming up with Made Impact on the World Storyteller Project, a global campaign to document one million stories showing the real impact of international exchange and education. And we need your community to be part of it.
Anyone whose life was shaped by time abroad has a story worth telling, and this is an easy, meaningful way to help them share it.
A shot at the United Nations for your alumni
Made Impact is collecting stories from people whose lives were shaped by exchange and education abroad, with a goal of one million. Together, we’re building a case for international exchange as a force for peace, an effort tied to a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
What your community gets out of it
- Their story helps show the world what international exchange really does, one real experience at a time.
- It becomes part of a permanent record for change, not just another post that disappears in a feed.
- And five storytellers win an all-expenses-paid trip to New York for the International Exchange & Education Summit at the United Nations.
How it works
- Create an account and share a little about yourself.
- Upload a short video interviewing someone who’s experienced international exchange or education. Keep it under 60 seconds.
- Hit submit.
That’s it.
Key dates and eligibility
- Submissions: June 30 – July 17
- Winners travel: late August 2026 (exact dates still to be confirmed)
- Eligibility: open to all nationalities; winners must be able to travel to the United States
Give your alumni the nudge
Forward this to your alumni network. Drop it in your next newsletter. Share it with the participants who never stopped talking about their time abroad. One of them might be on a plane to New York.
