Subject: Share international exchange stories
Subject: Share Your Stories!
Mobility International USA's National Clearinghouse on Disability and
Exchange is seeking stories for the next issue of our journal, A World
Awaits You (AWAY). The AWAY journal is a free annual publication that
presents personal stories by people with disabilities who have participated
in international exchange, as well as articles by international exchange
staff on their experience making programs inclusive of people with
disabilities. We also include stories by families that have hosted
international exchange participants and a resource section. Our journal is
read by students with and without disabilities, international exchange
staff, and disability-related organizations, among others. It's a great way
to get the word out about the types of exchange programs available, and to
encourage people with disabilities to go on exchange programs and to become
host families. The journal is also a place to share your experiences and
tips with people with disabilities who are thinking of going on an
international program and with exchange staff who may have questions about
accommodating people with disabilities in their programs.
The journal wouldn't be the wonderful resource that it is without the
participation and submissions of people like you. The submission deadline is
tentatively set for 9/20/02, so there is plenty of flexibility in submitting
an article. If you are interested in writing, please contact us at the email
listed below and we'll send more detailed guidelines. Please feel free to
forward this message to others who might be interested.
In anticipation of your articles,
Tracy Scharn, AWAY Editor
