The five-week Institute, focused on religious pluralism and democracy, is run in cooperation with the International Center for Contemporary Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of State (Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs). Twice a year, students from the Middle East and Southeast Asia are introduced to central elements of U.S. history, society, institutions, and democracy through a focus on American religious freedom and interreligious dialogue.
The DI will host its next SUSI, January 9-February 13, 2016, with 20 students from Southeast Asia.

YSEALI is an initiative of President Obama with which the Dialogue Institute now actively works in conjunction with its hosting of the semi-annual SUSI programs (the second is held during the summer for students from the Middle East).
Note that the video, as a recruiting tool for YSEALI, emphasizes only the leadership development aspect of the program; the DI's overall focus is on religious pluralism and dialogue training. Click here for more info about the DI's SUSI programs.
