The Consortium's Mission
The Friendship Through Education
Consortium is committed to creating opportunities that
facilitate online and offline interactions between the youth of
the world, inside and outside of classrooms, in order to build a
culture of peace in which the dignity and rights of all human
beings are respected.
We launch this effort with a commitment
for expanded links between U.S. schools and those in Islamic
countries, including Egypt, Indonesia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey,
Bahrain and Afghan refugee camps. We will provide information on
how students can link students through letters, email, art,
collaborative projects and exchanges to foster mutual respect
and greater understanding of cultural differences.
This Consortium seeks to be inclusive in
order to provide as complete information as possible on quality
interaction among students worldwide. For information on how
additional organizations can be involved in the Consortium,
