Open World Programs

Open World Programs are a week-long professional experience in the U.S. for international leaders, funded through the Congressional Office of International Leadership (COIL). Participants meet, engage, and exchange with local community leaders about their work at home. CIP partners with local network offices throughout the U.S. to facilitate this program.

COIL engages Members of Congress and their constituents in congressional and citizen diplomacy with political and civic leaders from around the globe. COIL achieves this through the Open World program, a ten-day professional exchange dedicated to strengthening mutual understanding and sharing best practices in accountable governance, civil society, the private sector, and rule of law.
