What We’re Reading Across International Education (October)

In today’s uber-connected world, it can be difficult to find the time or patience to scour the Internet and through endless streams of social media updates for interesting news that matters to you.

That’s why we’re here to help. Each month, our staff collects fun and informative articles pertinent to the field of international education and exchange that have stood out to us, and which hopefully are of interest to you, too.

With the clocks falling back an hour this weekend in the States, our American readers have one less excuse not to have a look at what we’re reading this month. After all, staying in the know can help you learn what it takes to get hired.

  1. Bonjour
    l’Afrique de l’ouest et particulièrement sa bande sahélienne(entre le Niger et Mali) est confrontée aux conflits qui perdurent et alimentés par les groupes armés.
    Pensons que le cas des conflits communautaires restent la seule issue pour trouver de solutions durables et stopper les conflits idéologiques qui concourent à la division des communautés au profit des térroristes
    Vive la paix et la démocratie
