ICTE: International Guest Program

The International Guest Program brings Human Rights and Tolerance advocates and educators to New York City for a period of one to three months for a residency at the International Center for Tolerance Education (ICTE). ICTE is a laboratory for innovative ideas in the fields of tolerance education and human rights. By opening our doors to a cadre of talented International Guests with proven professional track records, we create a home base for them in NYC, from which they are able to attend conferences and meetings, undertake research in the libraries of the city, and create original programming in their area of expertise at ICTE. ICTE staff work to connect the International Guests with colleagues in New York and globally, and to help with program development. Such programming can include workshops, conferences, training courses and working groups, among other things.

Each year, ICTE's International Guest Program welcomes 20-25 peace human rights leaders and peace educators, primarily from the Global South. These activists come for a 2-3 months residency in Brooklyn, working within the ICTE community. The program aims to support each guest's commitment to empowering local communities in the promotion of tolerance, human rights, and respect for diversity and social justice. Individualized work plans are created with Guests that involve networking, professional skills training, opportunities to present their work, and time to reflect on their ongoing efforts.
