I'd Like to Participate!

 

You may submit content independently or find a friend or colleague who knows you well to interview you. 

You may review our list of suggested questions with your interviewer and develop a general idea of the stories that you would like to share, and how your interviewer can help you tell them. Your conversation may be as short as 10 minutes, or as long as 45 minutes. 

Record your story. This may be done in a variety of ways:

1. Do it yourself. Send us a high quality WAV, AIFF, MP3 or MP4 file. See our Recording Guidelines for more details. We cannot guarantee that the recording will be featured in the podcast and The Forum reserves the right to edit. 
2. Make an appointment to record your interview in person at The Forum Annual Conference.

Contact Elizabeth Frohlich, Director for Programs and Resources, at frohlice@forumea.org to submit a file or schedule an in-person interview at the conference.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I participate if I don’t work at a Forum member organization?

Absolutely. All education abroad professionals are invited to participate.

Can interviews be conducted in any language?

Yes! The Forum does not offer translation or interpretation services, but we encourage you to speak in any language you prefer.

How will my recording be used?

Your story will be archived in the AIFS/AIFS Foundation Education Abroad Special Collection. It may become part of the Forum Storytellers Podcast, available on iTunes and to stream on The Forum’s website.  Clips from some recordings may also be used to create promotional shorts for The Forum Storytellers project.
