The importance of the English language has been emphasized by Mawlana Hazar Imam throughout the ages and it is with this aim that the Aga Khan Education Boards in Canada, France, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States of America have developed a special program, Bridges.
The International Summer Program Bridges seeks to enable and encourage the development of connections, in a virtual space, between Ismailis students, using the English language.
The Bridges Program consists of six (live) sessions once a week, on Tuesdays, scheduled for a duration of ninety minutes each. There will be opportunities to discuss, engage and socialize with young people from different cultures and backgrounds. In this way, offering opportunities to learn, create, collaborate, celebrate and share. The interactions will take place in small groups, as well as, with the participation of all to reflect and share stories. There will also be many opportunities to meet new people, make friends and learn about others.
At the end of the program, Bridges participants will be able to:
• share and compare stories about people, places and identity,
• develop a curiosity to learn more about unknown people and places to improve their confidence and
• develop communication skills, interpersonal and critical thinking.
The program will start on July 21 and end on August 25, 2020. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, this program is for you! Don't miss the opportunity to learn about different countries and cultures and build lasting friendships.
