National Public Radio Features IVLP Alumnus
The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) was prominently
featured recently in an NPR story on American outreach to Muslim
communities in France. As a part of her report, NPR correspondent Anita
Elash interviewed Mr. Mohamed Hamidi, an educator and editor-in-chief of
BondyBlog, a news source popular among minority young people and others
attracted to its frank discussion about diversity issues in France. Mr.
Hamidi participated in an International Visitor Leadership Program in
2008 that focused on U.S. policies and programs designed to build
tolerance, protect civil rights, and promote participatory democracy. He
also observed programs aimed at enhancing access to education for
underserved youth.
