We believe that in order to build a more peaceful and just future, we need strong communities.
Global One to One offers two programs to youth for direct connection and engagement: Connect One to One, letter and digital exchange and Engage One to One, in-person cultural exchange. Our unique approach applied in our programs leads students to increase empathy, develop intercultural understanding, break down stereotypes and prejudice, and open lines of opportunity for shared experience.
International cultural and educational exchanges have proven to be among the most effective avenues for diplomacy, and the use of soft power.
