Circuit Riders are artists, traveling ("Flying") English teachers, youth leaders, or teams of young people who visit schools and youth groups to inspire students.

Circuit Riders help break down walls and build bridges; and they provide practical training and encouragement for local Bridgebuilders.

A Karavaan is how we describe the focus of our work in each region, across a wide-range of activities and initiatives. It is also the way we share our work and tell you the stories of how Atlantic Bridge is impacting the lives of youth across Europe. If you are interested in joining our work in one of our regions, or just reading about it, hop on board a Karavaan either way!
The celebration for the 20th anniversary of Atlantic Bridge began in the Dutch town of GOES on Saturday 29 November 2008, and ended in November 2009 with celebrations in Nyack, New York on Saturday November 14 and in Thorndale Pennsylvania on Saturday 21 November. At these events we shared our 20-year history and provided a glimpse of our vision for the future. Stay Tuned!

Welcome!

Atlantic Bridge stands for building bridges of friendship and faith, and breaking down walls between youth from different cultural, denominational and ethnic backgrounds.

We're Dutch-based, but global in orientation with a vision to mobilize youth from around the world to participate in bridgebuilding!

With Europe as a primary target, Atlantic Bridge wants to mobilize and train young people, encouraging them to become agents of change -- to learn to break down walls of prejudice, ignorance and indifference and to build bridges of friendship and faith.

Surf well.
