Visitation Program
The AKC aims to develop a visitation program between Erbil and Washington D.C.
The program would support 4-6 delegations of up to 12 participants on an exchange visit between Erbil and the D.C. offices. These individuals will come from different walks of life, including national politicians, academics, public intellectuals, local government officials, artists, and others.​

We hope the new relationships will develop and increase understanding of the Kurds, and their importance to American policy.
