Shafik Gabr Foundation

Mission of the Shafik Gabr Foundation's initiative, East-West: The Art of Dialogue is to promote greater mutual understanding by building bridges between the people of the Arab world and the West, particularly with the U.S., by instigating dialogue and the exchange of ideas between these two cultures. Established  in response to the increasing tensions building between the East and West, the Foundation sponsors and fosters exchanges between emerging leaders from both cultures in the fields of arts, science, law, media and entrepreneurship - both business and social.
