Deadline: 30-Jan-22
The Global Circles Program is an opportunity to meet and engage online with other participants from various countries and cultures on topics that matter locally and globally. The Program facilitates dynamic dialogue exchange opportunities for young people on compelling social impact issues that matter across cultures and continents.
The learning comes from the participants themselves through constructive dialogue supported by trained facilitators. Through your participation, you will not only increase your knowledge on the topics but also start building meaningful international relationships.
The Global Circles program is supported by the Stevens Initiative which is sponsored by the U.S. department of state, with funding provided by the U.S. Government, and is administered by the Aspen Institute. It is also supported by the Bezos Family Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
