Our Mission
Communities Connect seeks to improve the quality of lives, protect human dignity, build capacity and empower communities and individuals through education, training and development of concrete joint initiatives. Our programs range from training in negotiation, conflict resolution, livelihood skills, participatory organizing and use of technology, to experiential learning exchange programs that bring people from all over the world to post-conflict settings. We put particular emphasis on local engagement and sustainability of any initiative by bringing together local and global talent.
Training and Workshops
We offer trainings and workshops on cross-cultural communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, dialogue, consensus building and related topics. We work with our clients to learn about their needs and create customized trainings that can help them achieve their goals.
Conflict Resolution 101 - Online Training
Mastering the basics of conflict resolution empowers both leaders and team members to improve overall team performance. By proactively learning how to address conflicts early and efficiently, the organization becomes more collaborative and productive. This online course equips you with the necessary tools to foster better communication and strengthen team relationships.
Cross-Cultural Conflict Resolution and Human Rights Program
The program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and resolve conflicts that arise in diverse cultural settings, with a focus on upholding and advancing human rights. In a world increasingly interconnected, understanding the complexities of cultural differences is essential for effective conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
Environmental Justice, Human Rights, and Activism Program
The program is a two-day immersive exploration into the critical intersections of environmental degradation, social inequity, and the global fight for human rights. This program delves into the historical roots of environmental justice, examining how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by environmental hazards and how these issues tie into broader human rights concerns.

Past programs
Communities Connect travel programs are perfect for both solo travelers and groups. Our programs feature many exciting destinations, engaging with local culture and people, special access to exclusive speakers and places, socially responsible business model, and so much more.
Customized Group Programs: Awesome and inspiring experiential learning
Many of us are students all our lives seeking meaning not only in cultural riches and ancient monuments of the world, but in conversations with people, their art and music. Our programs bring learning to life by transporting participants to the local context where they can engage with political, academic, civil society and religious leaders. Moreover, our tours are unique as they provide an opportunity to soak up the culture by going to places where the locals go and not those marked by Trip Advisor.
