Diaspora Homeland Involvement Initiative
Globalization has given rise to many ways for Diasporas or migrants and their descendants to stay in contact with their countries-of-origin. The
Diaspora-Homeland Involvement (DHI) marketing initiative is a Research and Integrated Marketing Communications product available to developing country
governments, Diaspora community organizations and others in the development industry. This innovative program is a joint effort between The George
Washington University's Diaspora Program (GW-DP) and EdVenture Partners (EVP). DHI is designed to provide homeland governments and US-based Diaspora
organizations with data and insight that will contribute to the socio-economic development of their countries of origin. It also includes local and
regional activation of real outreach strategies and campaigns in US Diaspora communities that cultivate and facilitate productive Diaspora-homeland
resource transfers.

Lecture Series
In an EdVenture Partners Lecture Series, we work with the client to develop and implement a series of skill-building and interactive workshops for
students. We tailor the sessions for any group of students, based on key targeted majors/skills/interests. Based on focus groups, we will develop the
series to meet the specific target market's interests. In attending these seminars, students will receive a wealth of résumé building and real-world
skills. In the process, the client or organization is able to define its brand image and articulate its positioning in the minds of students for future
employment possibilities. Lecture Series is available at either the college or high school level.
