Academy for Innovation and Change through Education together with the U.S. Embassy officially launched Access Program in Criuleni, Tiraspol, Cantemir and Drochia


       In January 2017 the Academy for Innovation and Change through Education (AICE) with the financial support of  the US Embassy to Moldova launched the English Access Microscholarship Program (Access Program) in four regions from Moldova: Cantemir, Tiraspol, Criuleni and Drochia. 

     

The Access Program will provide a foundation of English language skills to 72 newly-recruited talented 13-20 year-olds from economically disadvantaged sectors through after-school classes and intensive sessions. Access gives participants English skills that may lead to better jobs and educational prospects. Participants also gain the ability to compete for and participate in future exchanges and study in the United States.


    Founded by a group of USG exchange programs alumni from Moldova, AICE enables local individuals and institutions to develop key skills in such areas as quality education, integration of technology, civic engagement, youth empowerment, gender equality and regional development.
