Why The EdTour?
Virtual Edition
EdTour – Virtual Edition was initially created as a result of travel restrictions during COVID-19. It has evolved into a highly successful event that allows students to engage with various university representatives from the comfort of their home. The EdTour – VE (Fall 2024) aims to provide a productive and engaging event for participating institutions who wish to recruit or explore South Asia and Africa virtually. With our increasing presence in 19 countries (and counting..), EdTour-VE can be your virtual opportunity to globalize your student community.
Replicating the success of six past EdTour – Virtual Edition with participation from 70+ higher education institutions, a one-day event for undergraduate and another one-day event for graduate recruitment is planned.
Each participating higher education institution (HEI) will have its virtual booth for students to join in small groups throughout the event. All sessions and activities will be live. HEIs and students have the option to share their video, audio, or just text to interact.
Our Audience
As we continue to conduct immersive EdTours on-site, we have successfully explored uncharted territories and expanded our audience beyond previous boundaries. This has enabled us to anticipate a diverse range of participants for EdTour – VE, including individuals from regions like South Asia, East Africa, North Africa, Saudi Arabia and beyond.
Consider these enlightening facts about these regions:
Africa, with its staggering population of 1.2 billion, stands as the second most populous continent globally, accounting for a significant 16% of the world’s population. Interestingly, over 60% of the African population is under the age of 25, with a projection of a 42% global youth population by 2030. Such statistics indicate a youthful and vibrant continent bursting with potential.
On the other hand, South Asia is renowned for its rich cultural heritage as one of the earliest civilizations in the world. This region boasts one of the highest population densities on earth, and its diversity is reflected in its languages, religions, and cultures, making it a captivating and exciting destination for EdTour – VE participants.
