U.S. Embassy in Lebanon

Cultural Programs

The Public Diplomacy Section in Beirut has been working closely, for decades, with Lebanon’s cultural organizations and individuals to build and increase mutual understanding through supporting art and cultural projects, exchanges as well as heritage preservation. We believe in the strong ties between our two peoples and the importance of maintaining bridges through creative approaches, allowing to build platforms for conflict resolution as well as opening a communication with the general public and the youth in particular, to get familiar with the American culture and way of living.

English Language Programs

Public Diplomacy Beirut’s support for education includes programs to strengthen English language teaching. The English Language Office supports the U.S. Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, which aims to increase communication skills and mutual understanding between the people of the United States of America and the people of other countries throughout the world. To achieve these goals, the English Language Office supports U.S. Embassy-sponsored English language programming that strengthens teachers’ instructional and language skills, develops critical thinking capabilities, and conveys information about the United States
