Global Encounters is a new institution that unites and elevates the Jamat through transformational experiences that leverage and advance Ismailis’ shared identity, global presence, and individual talent and spirit, uplifting the communities in which we live. Global Encounters harnesses and advances the potential of our Jamat through a wide variety of international initiatives. These initiatives are an opportunity for the Jamat, and particularly the youth, to come together and live our values, deepen our understanding, celebrate, share experiences, develop our talent, and strengthen our identity.
