On this World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we reaffirm our Educational Goals and the vital role of intercultural education and youth exchange in fostering peace and sustainable development – themes deeply embedded in our mission and educational agenda. YFU programs are not just about travel. Since 1951, they have been about empowering global citizens to build a more peaceful and sustainable world. "The understanding must develop and grow to include all the people of a nation or culture. This step is the one which often occurs years after an initial exchange experience,"said Rachel Andresen, YFU’s founder. The transformative, empowering educational experiences our programs provide, and the ripple effects they create, are exactly what the world needs to achieve a peaceful and sustainable future. #interculturalunderstanding #diversity #dialogue #yfuspirit (fb)
