OUR GOAL
EXPAND ACCESS TO VIRTUAL EXCHANGEF OR A GENERATION OF YOUNG
PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA AND THE UNITED STATES to increase
cross-cultural understanding through on-line learning, and equip young people to
participate in a global economy.
Enhancing
Mutual Understanding and
Respect
Through research-based,
cross-cultural programming,
young people gain pride in
their own identity along with
an appreciation for other
cultures.
Teaching
21st Century Skills
Co-learning with youth
from across the globe
equips young people with
the skills and capacities
they need to succeed in a
