“We are thrilled that our U.S. alumni are using the skills and knowledge they gained during their exchange programs overseas to join the worldwide effort against COVID-19,” said Marie Royce, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. “These Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund public service projects uplift communities and provide them with resources and education needed to fight the pandemic.”
This event will include in depth conversation with international Hip Hop artists including Dumi Right (USA), Emile YX? (South Africa), Eli Almic (Uruguay), Maze022 (India), Tati Chavez (Costa Rica), ZDC (Australia) and more.
