The fundamental objective of this establishment is to introduce different cultures to the GIFT and local community and make them familiar with the foreign languages, traditional activities, heritage, exhibitions etc. These events will be held in collaboration with the Foreign Embassies in Pakistan.

Under the cultural exchange program, the main focus is the learning of foreign languages with an objective to communicate effectively, interact in a culturally appropriate manner, recognize cultural values and practices, and develop disposition and cognitive strategies for learning other languages and cultures.
