The Exchange

The Exchange is an effort by Mideastwire.com and its partners to promote engagement and understanding through a variety of city-focused, student conferences in and around the Middle East.

The first Exchange was launched in June 2008 in Beirut, Lebanon. Now, several years on, over 220 students from 44 different countries have participated, with many going on to work as diplomats in their home countries, for NGOs serving the region and as social entrepreneurs.

The next Exchange will be held in Beirut, June 10-24 2012.
