The Bridge Project aimed to enhance the political relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan by promoting people-to-people interaction.
The project had the objective of fostering improved attitudes between the two countries, fostering a shared understanding. It also sought to create a “demand” from the population for the political peace process, while encouraging a non-confrontational and subtle approach to messaging and communications.
The project included:
- The Food Path TV Show, which explored the culinary and cultural connections between the two nations.
- On The Road TV Show, which was based in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, with a focus on identifying commonalities and forging bonds between the two countries.
- A Journalist Exchange program, aimed at contributing to a better-informed media and news industry in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
- The Wapsi Radio Show, designed to educate Afghan refugees about the various opportunities available to them upon returning.
