Global Cultural Exchange's Mission Statement
Since its inception, Global Cultural Exchange has aimed to promote cultural awareness, knowledge and global competence among people from around the world. Part of our mission is to encourage young people from a variety of culture and background to take advantage of the extraordinary benefits of international exchange programs. We believe that we face an extraordinary opportunity to play a vital role in expanding cultural global neighbourhood, as we share the best of Gambian culture with the international visitors, such as volunteers, youths and students of today. We believe we could have a positive effect in the future generation.
