entrepreneurship and the emerging markets with the objective of increased
mutual business, cultural and intelectual understanding between Asia and Europe.

international exposure, exchange of knowledge and improved business relations
between the Asian and European markets. The objective is to develop entrepreneurs and strengthen
relations with the emerging markets.
Bridging the Gap
Bridging the Gap is a project to foster
cultural understanding between the East and the West by creating
culturally sensitive ambassadors in Europe and the Arab world.
This would lead to increased
mutual business, cultural and intellectual understanding amog the Arabic and
European countries. The program offers
international exposure through our international internship program to studenst in
over 50 institution of higher education of Arabic and European countries.
EUnity
This project aims at giving citizens the opportunity to interact and participate in
constructing
an ever closer Europe, which is democratic and world-oriented, united in and
enriched through its cultural diversity, thus developing citizenship of the European Union.
This would help the students in developing a sense of European identity, base on common values, history and culture; fostering a sense of ownership of the European Union among its citizens; enhancing tolerance and mutual understanding between European citizens, respecting and promoting cultural and linguistic diversity, while contributing to intercultural dialogues.
