“The Stevens Initiative is a multilateral public-private endeavor designed to achieve the largest-ever increase in people-to-people educational exchanges between the U.S. and the broader Middle East. Our overriding objective is to develop young people’s understanding of other cultures and diverse perspectives, equip them with the tools they need to communicate and cooperate with confidence and respect, and help them to succeed in the global job market. We believe this work is critical to ensuring that the power of global connectivity is harnessed for good and lays the foundation for a safer and more secure world.”
