Global Connections and Exchange Program (GCEP)-Bangladesh helps the leaders of tomorrow to develop the knowledge and the skills for an increasingly global world. Through technology and innovative online projects, GCEP participants gain an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen by working in partnership with their peers in other countries. GCE Bangladesh has selected three youth under its student exchange program to travel to the U.S.A. in July 2007. The exchange will focus on the use of technology as a tool for social activism and community development. This is a combined exchange involving students from Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The selected youth leaders have demonstrated commitment to community service and social development and have creatively used technology to promote global citizenship. These students are active participants in GCEP online collaborative projects.
Theme of the Youth Exchange: Civic Education and the Availability of Public Services in the US, Afghanistan and Bangladesh
The upcoming GCE exchange will be designed around building student leadership and good governance skills through awareness-raising about the public services available to the students in their communities. As Good Governance is the antitheses of corruption, the focus of this civic education oriented activity is on the role that young people and an active civil society can play in securing better functioning government services through the use of technology.
