We are excited to share that the WorldChicago team, alongside our board members Lisa B. Harwood and Harriet H., fellowship hosts and partners from COMMON GROUND FOUNDATION, INC. – Karl Kemp, ADROC Productions – Kristina Schneider, and Learning Dimensions – Monica Swope had the honor of meeting with Camille Purvis Dawson, Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS), Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs at U.S. Department of State. Additionally, DAS Dawson met with a few of our WorldChicago Youth Diplomats representing CPS Walter Payton College Prep, @Lindblom Math and Science Academy, and Golder College Prep. DAS Dawson noted that WorldChicago hosted 31 delegates from the East Asia Pacific region in 2023 for our International Visitors Leadership Program. We also hosted 22 youth from the East Asian Pacific region for the 2023 TechGirls program! This invaluable opportunity allowed us to discuss the Public Diplomacy priorities in the EAP and exchange ideas on how to strengthen our commitment to fostering global connections and cultural understanding. A huge thank you to DAS Dawson for her time and valuable insights, and to everyone who participated in this enriching experience! #citzizeniplomacy #citizendiplomacy #exchangeourworld #CulturalExchange #USDepartmentofState
