Program Description

In the complex new information space, only digitally empowered coalitions of professionals can identify creative and sustainable solutions to future challenges.

Inspired by an exchange program to the United States in 2015, supported by the U.S. Department of State and coordinated by World Learning, the Digital Communication Network was developed to connect alumni of the program and other professionals of the digital age. The Digital Communication Network aims to create a lasting impact by empowering a new generation of global voices and ideas in the digital space. The Digital Communication Network, with support from World Learning, implements a variety of innovative, thematic exchanges and events, serving as a catalyst for communication, creativity, and connectivity.
