PAST COLLABORATIONS
Exchange in practice
Open World · 2018 and 2019
In partnership with the Open World Leadership Center and FHI 360, this page records two delegations from the Open World Leadership Center, a legislative branch agency. The first, in Sept 2018, was a team of youth workers from Ukraine, and the second, in March 2019, was a team of women professionals from Tajikistan.
Before they arrived at the FFI Peace Campus, delegates completed orientation in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill and had the opportunity to meet with Congress members.
Once in New Hampshire, delegates collaborated on best practices for their fields. The teams met state political leaders and local community leaders. Additional activities included a tailored version of the FFI Leadership Program.
Boston 2 Belfast · 2017
In 2017, FFI was approached by a group from Boston that wanted to bring a team of diverse young hockey players to Belfast, NI, for the Friendship Four Hockey Tournament. Boston and Belfast are "sister cities" and FFI work with local governments and directly recruited participants to develop a meaningful program focused on cross-cultural experiences and hockey!
