QISASNA VIRTUAL EXCHANGE: STORIES ABOUT BUSINESS • PEACE • INNOVATION • AND MORE

Qisasna (“Our Stories” in Arabic) connects Yemeni students with international peers to co-create podcast episodes on business, peace, innovation, and the future of work. Through real conversations and teamwork, students share local experiences, exchange ideas, and explore how young people can contribute to stronger, more hopeful communities.

Our Proven Impact

Since 2021, Qisasna has connected more than 1,500 students from five Yemeni cities, 16 U.S. states and 30 higher educational institutions. Together, they have produced 160+ original podcast episodes on topics such as entrepreneurship, innovation, peacebuilding, health, education, and rebuilding communities. For many, it is their first opportunity to collaborate closely with someone from another country, developing intercultural competency and digital storytelling skills for the 21st century.
