An integral part of all our programming, rural networks promotes and facilitates global exchange of people and knowledge among and between individuals, community groups and organization for purposes of accompaniment (i.e. mutual support and solidarity), problem solving and development of common agendas and strategies for confronting unjust structures and practices. This program also facilitates and organizes exchanges between North American Churches and ecumenical agencies and people’s organization within the United States and internationally for purposes of experiential education and accompaniment.
