The Institute of International Education - Blog

Written By Phil Evans

The Institute of International Education blog is an incredible resource to expand thinking and understanding around global topics.  In a similar context to the establishment of the International Baccalaureate Organisation the Institute has a long history, founded in a post World War initiative to bring people together through education. The blog features stories of networking, outreach, sharing resources, building up infrastructure and sustainable systems, and showcases the incredible power that education has to create a more peaceful world.

I recommend this blog because the articles posted authentically range within categories that directly impact education around the world: Student Exchanges and Study Abroad, Teacher Exchanges and International Partnerships, Women in Leadership and International Development and Capacity Building.

This story inspires the human spirit.  The pay it forward concept in action of young people giving back to their community after they have received an opportunity.  In Africa, people appreciate things that others take for granted.  Read here: Top 5 Ways IIE is Building Networks Across Africa

Phillip Evans is a creative catalyst and founder of Education by Design Collective, a multimedia platform (podcast, blog, and an upcoming documentary series) that spotlights bold ideas for re-engineering how we learn and lead. Equal parts storyteller and strategist, he curates conversations with front-line educators, researchers, and innovators, then turns those insights into actionable tools schools can use tomorrow.

A serial intrapreneur turned entrepreneur, Phillip has launched global initiatives that blend design thinking, appreciative inquiry, and agile product development—building multilingual resource ecosystems, low-budget livestream solutions, and data-driven coaching programs that scale from a single classroom to entire school networks. His sweet spot is the messy middle where vision meets execution: mapping the system, finding the leverage points, and prototyping fast.

Phil is the host of the Education by Design podcast.
