The Fulbright program is sponsored by the US Department of State,  Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) (http://eca.state.gov/fulbright/fulbright-programs)  to promote mutual understanding between countries.  In my opinion, a Fulbrighter serves as "an ambassador" from their respective country. When people from different nations form  friendships and working relationships, it helps break down barriers such as generalizations and stereotypes and forms bridges to peace and cooperation for future endeavors. Here is the quote from the mission statement  of the ECA: "The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State fosters mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries to promote friendly and peaceful relations. We accomplish this mission through academic, cultural, sports, and professional exchanges that engage youth, students, educators, artists, athletes, and rising leaders in the United States and more than 160 countries"- See more at: http://eca.state.gov/

    Sue Levine

    Sue is a teacher and school librarian living in  Atlanta, GA, USA. She was in NZ as a Fulbright Distinguished Teacher from Feb-June 2016.

    ​ In this role she visited  schools and school libraries to learn about teaching and learning, Kiwi style!

    Sue's inquiry project was about school libraries and  how to make them  more inviting and accessible/inclusive to special groups/sub populations.
