The project brought an Internews manager and three students from Tunisia to the University of Arizona in April 2018 for eight days for a week of programming and the director of student media and a School of Journalism professor to Tunisia for nearly two weeks in June 2018. Both visits involved social and cultural events with communities around Arizona and Tunisia, trainings, community coffees and journalism programming.
