The purpose of International Education Week is to raise, among Canadians, an awareness and understanding of international education, its significant benefits to Canada, to Canadian educational institutions and to all Canadians. International Education Week is to be scheduled for the third week of November each year to coincide with the timing of international education celebrations to be held in over 85 countries around the globe. UPEI will hold several events during this week to promote global citizenship and awareness of the benefits of international education to our campus.
