As an American teaching German to Afghani and Eritrean refugees in Stuttgart, Moriah discovered her passion for bridging differences. She brings this passion to her position as the Global Outreach and Communications Director at Euphrates, where she interacts directly with people from around the world. Intercultural facilitation is at the heart of what she does – bridging communication and cultural gaps by turning “others” into “brothers" and fostering an awareness of our innate interconnectedness. In her diverse facilitation work, she encourages people to share their stories, equips them with skills needed to engage effectively with others, and empowers them as global citizens.
