#WelcomeHome Photo Challenge
For many of us, “home” can be a place where we rest our heads or the people that we know and love. Home can also be your place of work or where your fondest memories were made. As an international community, the depth of how we define “home” is a testament to our organization’s unique and rich identity. How do you define home? Whether it’s your hometown or your amazing colleagues…let’s hear it, International ACAC! Share with us what home means to you through our #WelcomeHome Photo Challenge!
In an effort to highlight community and get excited for the 2024 Conference, we are encouraging members to submit their #WelcomeHome photos! See some of our member submissions below.

"I had the pleasure of flying from Gatwick (UK) to Geneva in March on personal travel with my two young children to stay with Melanie Batey and her lovely family at Institute Le Rosey in Rolle, Switzerland. It is the first time I've flown as a single parent with my children, and the kindness and hospitality of Melanie, her family, and our friends from neighboring Swiss schools who visited has given me the confidence to explore more of the world with my girls. We had an afternoon of well overdue catch ups, good food and drink, and plenty of laughter with Krista Jacobson (EcolInt), Ben Colliard (EcolInt) and Katrina Edmunds (Int Sch Lausanne). I felt quite overcome with emotion at the joy of bringing my little family to meet my work family, in a place that my heart feels like home."
