Ibrahim Student Leadership & Dialogue Middle East Program<\/span><\/h4>\nThe Ibrahim and Queens College Student Leadership Program in the Middle East offers qualified undergraduate students a fully funded, four-week exploration of Saudi Arabia, Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. Students will meet with national, cultural, and religious leaders as well as grassroots activists and economic entrepreneurs\u2014people who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to promoting tolerance and mutual understanding. Students also will meet with people who represent more\u00a0challenging viewpoints. This on-the-ground experience will ultimately inform students\u2019 subsequent ideas and endeavors concerning this vital region.<\/p>\n
Our Mission<\/h4>\n
To empower cross-cultural, interfaith networks of American student-scholar-activists with a nuanced understanding of the complexities of this strategically vital region. Students interact with a broad spectrum of Middle Eastern cultures and perspectives, particularly in the fields of religious understanding, social entrepreneurialism, and conflict transformation.<\/p>\n
