Intercultural Dialogue - British Council USA

INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE

Our programs seek to create sustainable, long-term networks that span the Atlantic. We aim to:

			Engage with future leaders from all backgrounds in North America, the UK and Europe, including those who may take a less-traditional path to influence;
			Encourage mobility and internationalism for the exchange of information, ideas and knowledge;
			Enrich the discourse surrounding pressing global issues such as climate change by offering a platform for collaboration and debate.

TRANSATLANTIC NETWORK 2020

Transatlantic Network 2020 is a new initative that will engage future leaders from across North America and Europe to work collaboratively to find fresh approaches to critical global issues.

Our Shared Future

Our Shared Future aims to improve the public conversation on Muslim-West relations in the US and Europe by providing access to hard facts and research through social media networks, opinion pieces, conferences and events.

Global Changemakers

The Global Changemakers project creates a global network that provides opportunities for young people to share experiences and make practical and visible differences in their communities, countries and regions.

Global Xchange

Global Xchange is a six-month exchange program which gives young people from different countries a unique opportunity to live and volunteer together, to develop and share valuable skills and to make a practical contribution where it is needed in each local community.

What we do in intercultural dialogue

The Muslim contribution to contemporary European culture and society stretches back over 1,300 years with more than 120 million Muslims now living in Europe. The aim of OSE is to create more understanding and awareness of the many contributions that Muslims have made in history and continue to make in present-day Europe.
