U.S. Speaker's Program

2019 - 2021

https://www.worldlearning.org/program/u-s-speaker-program/ I support U.S. foreign policy goals by interacting with key foreign audiences worldwide, promoting an understanding among foreign audience of U.S. policies and institutions, and the political, economic, social, and cultural context from which they arise. I engage in conversations that enable foreign audiences to learn more about U.S. society, culture and institutions, thereby supporting development and growth of political, economic, and social institutions abroad, and countering negative stereotypes. This establishes sustained relationships and linkages between U.S. speakers and foreign audiences and institutions in order to share knowledge and skills with their peers and broader communities.
