URI Africa supports the urban development movement by signing an agreement with UN-Habitat and becoming an associate partner of World Urban Campaign.

Working with Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EUROMED) programs, URI MENA members were invited to participate in the Path to Active Citizenship training program in Manchester, United Kingdom. 

URI Global Council trustee Marianne Horling brought 14 people of diverse cultural backgrounds together for monthly meetings in mid-April, introducing URI and hoping to create more CCs.

This past weekend I participated in the Tour de Turtles race at Disney Vero Beach Resortand The Barrier Island Center.

Last spring, the Sulha Peace Project CC held a four-day seminar for 32 young leaders.

Despina Namwembe, the Women’s Initiative Coordinator for Africa, travelled to Kenya as part of URI’s Women’s Initiative, a pilot program launched in March this year.

During the first week of July, URI Korea CC invited youth from all over the world to participate in an interreligious-intercultural youth camp in Seoul, South Korea. 

This year on the last day of July, I turn 60. I remember that this last decade has been full of changes and growth.
