Moldova: American Resource Center Program

archived

SUMMARY: The American Resource Center (ARC) in Chisinau is the U.S. Embassy’s premier venue for cultural programs and outreach in Moldova. The ARC supports U.S. public diplomacy in Moldova by creating a welcoming, technology-forward space that fosters open discussion and debate, builds cultural bridges to deepen communication on key issues, provides opportunities for professional and personal skill-building, and sparks creativity, innovation, and collaboration around shared Moldovan and U.S. values. The recipient organization will be responsible for staffing and operating the American Resource Center in close cooperation with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy. Key program activities under this cooperative agreement include managing local Moldovan staff with expertise in program and event management; purchasing and maintaining all necessary technology, materials, and supplies to support engagement with in-person and remote Moldovan audiences; and designing a flexible and dynamic program of activities each month to interact with Moldovan visitors and encourage visitors to return regularly to the American Resource Center. Decisions on staffing and program content will be made in consultation with the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau. Please see the related documents for more details about the announcement.
