CIR hosts visitors that are participating in the Open World Program sponsored by the Library of Congress.

The Open World Program is a unique, nonpartisan initiative of the U.S. Congress designed to build mutual understanding between the United States and Eurasia. Over 12,000 Open World participants have been hosted in all 50 U.S. states since the program’s inception in 1999. Delegates range from members of parliament to mayors, from innovative nonprofit directors to experienced journalists and from political party activists to regional administrators.

For more information on Open World, please visit the Open World website or CIR’s Open World blog maintained by Volunteer John DiRuggiero.  Contact John to explore opportunities to contribute (volunteer).
