"The teachers Culturingua has worked with through the Global Social Entrepreneurship Journey in San Antonio, U.S., and Benghazi, Libya, have played such a critical role in enabling student success by allowing students to build cross-cultural friendships and critical skills for the future. Thank you, educators, for all you do."

"Teachers and students have a lot on their plates, especially around this time of year. Whether it’s preparing for end-of-the-year exams or taking time for themselves, there is much to do in a little amount of time. Watching teachers rise to the past year’s challenges – connecting students around the globe and bringing their passion for games into the classroom – has been truly rewarding. It shows that Game Exchange has a tangible impact on youth and highlights the value of global collaboration. The educators participating in Game Exchange, and their passion for learning, have played an instrumental role in making this program successful. We can’t wait to bring on our next cohort.”

"This virtual exchange wouldn't have been possible without the sacrifice and dedication of teachers at Lydex High School. They helped students engage in cross-cultural communication through the Global Leadership Exchange program. We are so grateful for all that they do to provide students with the opportunity to learn 21st century skills and get a deeper understanding of global issues."
