Want to participate in an online exchange program during the spring 2024 semester with students in Yemen? The program, called ‘Qisasna’, is implemented by Amideast and is supported by the J. Christopher Stevens Virtual Exchange Initiative (JCSVEI).
The program engages American and Yemeni students in 1) online dialogue sessions to learn about each other's cultures and discuss issues of mutual interest, and 2) collaboration to produce international podcasts related to shared challenges and opportunities—all through virtual exchange. No previous podcasting experience is necessary, as podcast training will be provided. Students will gain valuable skills in cross-cultural engagement and dialogue as well as international podcast production, and become part of a program alumnae network with access to additional US Department of State-sponsored opportunities. There is no fee to participate in the program.
