U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom: CVE Community Leaders Two-way Exchange Programme, Deadline: 19 September 2016

U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom has launched a programme entitled “CVE Community Leaders Two-way Exchange” to bring U.S. and UK CVE community leaders together to learn from each other’s experiences in promoting tolerance and preventing radicalization in their communities.

The program seeks to provide increased and improved dialogue within communities on difficult issues and to create a new aspect of the Special Relationship among communities in the UK, which often do not share the traditional links between the U.S. and UK.

The UK groups will travel to all three U.S. cities and meet with various members of the communities, then after 3-4 months, the U.S. group will travel to the UK.

Applicants must have the demonstrated experience and ability to develop a successful cultural exchange, complete with access not possible on one’s own, including:

• Local and federal government officials
• Community groups
• Local opinion leaders

In addition, the program implementer will:

• Seek U.S. Embassy concurrence on tour schedule and meetings;
• Provide a budget update to U.S. Embassy London as necessary;
• Serve as the primary point of contact and source of information for program;
• Manage all logistical elements of the program, including facilitating British travel to the U.S. and U.S. travel to the UK, and on-the-ground tour implementation.
