International Visitor Leadership Program Forecast
As we conclude another successful year of Global Santa Fe’s international programming, we are proud of the meaningful exchanges that have fostered greater understanding and lasting connections across nations and continents.
In 2024, we were honored to host 16 international groups through the International Visitor Leadership Program and two Open World groups through the Congressional Office for International Leadership. Guests from across the globe engaged in cross-cultural exchanges, sharing diverse perspectives with our community partners. These visitors built professional and personal connections, creating a lasting impact that benefits individuals, communities, and approaches to problem-solving around challenges such as innovation in education, human trafficking, climate policy, security, and peace.
Hosting international visitors is a cornerstone of our mission, strengthening Santa Fe’s role in forging relationships, promoting peace, and contributing to a more interconnected world.
We are excited for continued opportunities for exchange in 2025 to further build bridges across cultures and strengthen international collaboration
Connecting Santa Fe to the World
Our intellectual and cultural leadership empowers our members, students, and communities to be more informed and connected in three ways:
WE IGNITE DIALOGUE AND CITIZEN DIPLOMACY
Elevating global knowledge, ideas, and actions, Global Santa Fe provides year-round dialogues featuring world-class speakers in innovative formats. These are balanced, broad-based presentations, panels, live streams, film screenings, and more, on compelling global issues. Through Dialogue & Diplomacy, we expose participants to points of view that illustrate a deeper story.
WE FACILITATE CULTURAL EXCHANGE WITH INTERNATIONAL LEADERS
In partnership primarily with the U.S. Department of State, we welcome international leaders to New Mexico every year. Our visitors dialogue about professional challenges, investments, culture, international relations, and more, to create an authentic connection that spreads from Santa Fe to the world. The power of sharing our experiences and stories with one another builds lasting friendships and helps us discover that we are not so different after all.
WE ELEVATE GLOBAL AWARENESS AND OPEN DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF CITIZEN DIPLOMATS IN NEW MEXICO THROUGH ENGAGING STUDENTS
Expanding horizons for students in Santa Fe and across New Mexico, Global Santa Fe exposes students to critical global currents and sparks their curiosity. They learn about world affairs through our speakers and international leaders and may apply for scholarship opportunities for foreign study and travel. This elevated global discourse propels our best young minds into educational and career pathways that benefit Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the world.
