URI Middle East and North Africa (MENA) organized a youth exchange designed to empower young adults to examine their understanding of socio-cultural differences, and to help them recognize harmful stereotypes and barriers. Together, they broke down common myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes of countries and cultures.

The participants exchanged knowledge on the topics of diversity, xenophobia, and racism in different countries, and brainstormed "the solutions/actions that could be adopted by us, as members of civic society, to change the situation."
