BAX Visits To and From Iraq

September 2008                  Iraqi visit to the UK

Follow-up programmes are currently being worked on, following the visit to the UK of six young professionals from Iraq in September 2008. This was a pilot scheme of a BAX Building the Future programme planned from 2007 in partnership with the Iraqi Kubba Foundation. Building the Future has a focus on leadership and community-building training.

The main purpose of the visit was to provide opportunities for the Iraqi delegates and their hosts to learn from each other’s experiences, challenges and heritages, and to develop strategies and skills to support the work of reconstruction in Iraq now and in the years ahead.
