The long term vision of the Center for Higher Education in the Middle East, Inc. is the creation of a system of linked university
campuses throughout the Middle East and North Africa, which will provide a permanent network of interconnected academic centers that
foster academic excellence, critical thinking, and coexistence for all communities in the region. 

During its seven years of existence, the University of the Middle East Project has implemented programs in Boston, USA, Casablanca,
Morocco, and Toledo, Spain in the fields of Teacher Education, Sustainable Development and Governance. Participants of these
programs are from throughout the Middle East and North Africa and engage in an intensive one-month educational experience. UME
programs are designed to enhance academic and practical skills, as well as to promote open communication and mutual respect and
understanding.

Africa.
