The Initiative aimed to increase mutual understanding among youth in middle schools through post-secondary education, and equip a generation of globally-minded youth with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly interdependent world. Under the umbrella of the BRIDGE Program, E-ERA provided professional online trainings and curriculum-based virtual exchange activities for educators in 11 MENA countries and their U.S. counterparts. Following an online course, educators connected their students through asynchronous activities that have culminated in videoconference connections and community exhibitions in five thematic areas: environment, civic education, heritage, identity and tradition, food security, arts and media production.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gap-element clearfix\"
