American Spaces exemplify the U.S. commitment to a core tenet of democracy: the citizen’s right to free access to information. With over 700 spaces worldwide, American Spaces provide access to the latest, in-depth information about the United States, connecting Americans with people of other countries. American Spaces build bridges of mutual respect and an understanding of U.S. policy, society, culture and values. American Spaces are located both inside the U.S. Embassy and outside in partner spaces called American Corners.
We are seeking your ideas and opinions on how we can improve these spaces, making them more helpful to you and your fellow Young African Leaders Initiative Network members.
