About the Class

The International Culture Exchange (ICE) wiki was started by Ruth Vilmi in June 2006 to celebrate the 50th Round of the International Writing Exchange (IWE). The International Writing Exchange (IWE) was started by Ruth Vilmi in 1993 with her own students at Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) together with undergraduates around the world. The courses ran in six-week courses or rounds with weekly deadlines, throughout the year until 2005, when Ruth retired from her post at TKK. In June 2006, IWE celebrated the 50th Round of the IWE and started an intercultural counterpart, the ICE.

In 2010 Ruth Vilmi decided to house IWE elsewhere. IT4ALL took the challenge and started hosting IWE from the fall of 2010. You may join the next IWE for the September, 2011 fall round at IT4ALL.

This looks like an interesting project. Would like to know more to see whether there are some possibilities with our pre/in-service EFL educators in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

It is heartening to observe that a course of this nature is being offered free to interested persons. I have forwarded your web link to others I know who would be interested.

Keep up the fine work!
