IOU Respect

Eye-opening. Thought-provoking. Remarkable. Life-changing. IOU Respect is not just a trip -- it's a journey. It’s a diverse group of individuals from six partner countries -- the US, Egypt, France, Germany, Lebanon, and Tunisia -- coming together to discover their unique cultural differences and appreciate their undeniable similarities. IOU Respect breaks down barriers and helps participants build lasting relationships on a foundation of appreciation, respect, and understanding.
