The Problem
Today’s critical issues are global. From climate change and clean water, to sustainable cities gender inclusivity, it’s critical for young changemakers to recognize the power in cross-cultural collaboration. And yet, there are so many barriers to cross-cultural educational opportunities. Whether it be financial reasons, documentation, family life, or something else, too many young people in the U.S. and abroad do not have access to broaden worldview through global citizenship. Technology changes this equation. Through technology, from Digital Exchange Programs to social media, Project Exchange seeks to democratize access to exploring the intersections between culture, personal & community identity, and today’s global issues.
