Every year, IIE programs support students, scholars, and artists who act as catalysts for positive change in their communities and in the world. Whether these changemakers are in a lab discovering vaccines for diseases, creating art that sheds light on political violence, or pursuing an education in the face of incredible obstacles, their collective resilience is inspiring. Read more about how IIE changemakers are creating lasting peace in our world.
