Meridian International Center is a global leadership center that fosters mutual understanding among communities of the world through the exchange of people, ideas and culture. The Meridian LiveLocal/ThinkGlobal Network (LL/TG) connects the DC community to the world through Meridian and connects Meridian to the DC community through educational programs and activities that are international in scope and are free and open to the public. It is designed to provide connections that encourage all members of the DC community, young and not so young, to see themselves as informed global citizens. It transcends distances and overrides language barriers to create opportunities for greater tolerance and mutual understanding. LL/TG Network works with its partners and allies to present the following:

• Visits to classrooms by International Visitors;
• International Children’s Festival that showcases the cultures of the foreign diplomatic community through dance, music, costumes, activities and food;
• Global Perspectives Film Series that screens documentary films on global issues and features a guest speaker;
• Wired World that connects local classrooms with classrooms in other countries;
• Educational Art and Photo Tours that provide a behind-the-scenes tour of Meridian’s Cafritz Gallery exhibits;
• Other activities are under development.
