Together, we can create a more peaceful and interconnected world through socially conscious travel

The MEJDI team’s deep roots in social change work is where our mission comes from. MEJDI was founded by two peacebuilding practitioners, Aziz Abu Sarah and Scott Cooper. After leading social change programs all over the world, Aziz and Scott discovered that travel was one of the most powerful tools for creating a better planet. They decided to share their unique experiences and an unmatched network of contacts with those who aspire to become citizen diplomats.

We hope you’ll join us.
