Where Cultural Exchange comes First

 

 

 Friendship Ambassadors Foundation, Inc. • since 1973

Creating and leading transformative cultural exchanges, and building friendships that advance mutual understanding and global peace

• Cultural gatherings of all kinds, especially dance, choral and instrumental music programs, transcend language barriers and enable a more basic, pure interaction to take place among those involved. Mutual understanding and global cooperation are encouraged by all types of cultural exchange such as congresses and other, informational gathering. Cultural immersion and exchange – when shared between communities – is often far more meaningful than political, religious or business exchanges and are essential for the education of youth – the leaders of the future. 

• Furthermore, FAF programs are valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of many exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other interactive programming the foundation leads and facilitates worldwide.

Friendship Ambassadors Foundation believes that cultural exchanges and concert performance tours abroad are special and meaningful ways for Americans to learn more about the rest of the world. Cultural gatherings of all kinds, especially dance, choral and instrumental music programs, transcend language barriers and enable a more basic, pure interaction to take place among those involved. Mutual understanding and global cooperation are encouraged by cultural exchange and essential for the education of youth – the leaders of the future – as well as to reconnect the leaders of today in ways beyond business, religion, and politics would permit. Furthermore, these programs can become valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of many exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other interactive programming worldwide.

Friendship Ambassadors Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides meaningful group travel opportunities and concert performance tours promoting peace through cultural exchange. Using the arts for peace, dance, music, choral (choir), and other performing and academic groups receive real interaction during their travels, both on the performance tours and special projects like our annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations, reconciliation and relief programs, and other special group travel opportunities. The arts-based healing programme Finding New Hope, United Nations related travel, and fiscal agency services assisting emerging nonprofit travel and peace organizations that share FAF’s goals augment the main bulk of our work: nonprofit, customized group travel, concert tours and cultural exchange worldwide. FAF’s music, dance, and choral (choir) tours can also be used as fund development tools for groups we serve. FAF does not charge a fee for such services and a portion of each tour is fully tax deductible as allowed by law to each participant or their family.

Friendship Ambassadors Foundation believes that cultural exchange and concert performance tours worldwide are excellent ways for Americans to learn more about the rest of the world: culture in general and dance, music – both choral and instrumental – and other art forms in particular transcend language barriers and enable true interaction to take place among those involved. Thus they promote peace and global cooperation through mutual understanding, and are essential for the education of youth – the leaders of the future. Furthermore, they can become valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of all exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other travel and interactive programming worldwide.

All choirs, music and dance ensembles, and other pre-formed arts or academic groups are encouraged to take advantage of our nonprofit services. We will be privileged to assist you in achieving your goals – educational or otherwise – through the power of culture!
