People-to-people relationships have the power to break barriers, build friendships and change the world.
Partners of the Americas has been working with the U.S. Department of State since 1983 to strengthen United States ties with Latin America and the Caribbean by sharing American culture, values, and way of life and fostering people-to-people connections. Over 40 years, the Education and Culture Program, a U.S. Department of State traditional public-private partnership implemented by Partners, has provided opportunities for U.S., Latin American, and Caribbean participants to strengthen communities through cultural, economic, educational, and professional exchanges.
The Education and Culture Program builds partnerships and personal connections through community-led initiatives and professional exchanges. Program-supported community led initiatives foster stronger international connections, while professional exchanges promote mutual understanding. Education and Culture promotes interactions between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean and cultivates global partnerships to address common challenges, such as illegal migration and instability.
