Summary:
|
Walnut Creek Sister Cities International involves people and organizes groups at all levels of our society in personal diplomacy to other countries. It provides a vehicle for planned and continuous contact between school communities to be actively involved in the rewarding field of international relations at the local level. The goal of the Youth Ambassador Exchange Program is to make a significant contribution to global peace through the exchanges of students, ideas, and cultures. Through the Student Exchange Program, MDUSD Middle Schools in Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill, as well as Walnut Creek Intermediate School, will participate in an exchange of students and teachers with our sister cities' students in Siofok, Hungary and Noceto, Italy. As part of this program, Sarah Perez, a teacher from Foothill Middle School will be traveling as a chaperone to Siofok in October, 2016. Eight Foothill Middle School students will be participating. Students from these Sister Cities will visit Walnut Creek schools during April, 2017. During the year, our students will study the host countries and will write reports.
