Vision
Global Bangladesh aims to develop an inclusive forum for the worldwide Bangladeshi diaspora community to share their life experiences, struggles, aspirations, achievements, and contributions to their motherland. This magazine will be a catalyst in building “cultural and intellectual bridges” between the home country and its dispersed emigrant communities abroad.
Mission
More than ten million Bangladeshis reside permanently or temporarily in many countries which vary in culture, economic characteristics, opportunities, and challenges. The diaspora community is connected with millions of people in Bangladesh through family ties and social networks.
Global Bangladesh is an innovative platform that promotes connectivity in a globalised world in several ways. The magazine provides opportunities for various strata of the diaspora community to:
-
- Share their life experiences and achievements in the “host”/”adopted” countries;
-
- Highlight their efforts in maintaining their language, cultural and religious identities;
-
- Showcase their projects for the socio-economic development of Bangladesh;
-
- Inspire the younger generation to connect with Bangladesh;
-
- Use their expertise, knowledge, and skills toward the development of Bangladesh in specific sectors;
-
- Explore intergenerational issues in a multicultural context ( for example, raising children and taking care of the elderly);
-
- Explore characteristics of different dimensions of host societies such as the systems of education, healthcare, social and acculturation policies that may be relevant to Bangladesh and also to potential immigrants and students from Bangladesh;
-
- Examine economic, cultural, and educational interactions between Bangladesh and host countries;
- Analyze government policies in Bangladesh that have implications for the Bangladeshi diaspora community.
