The International Junior Writers Club (IJWC), represented by its adviser, received a GEC Connect Champion Award yesterday for participating in the 7th Annual Global Education Conference on November 13-16, 2016. Global Education Conference (GEC) is a collaborative, worldwide community initiative involving students, educators, and organizations at all levels. It is designed to increase opportunities for building education-related connections around the globe while supporting cultural awareness, recognition of diversity, and educational access for all. Alternative Education Center's participation in the Annual Global Education Conference is its deliberate initiative to gain more ideas for the Great Global Challenge, of which the IJWC is a qualifier, and to experience how the GEC works for possible presentations in succeeding conferences, sharing successes of the International Junior Writers Club with the world.
