Summary:
|
Walnut Creek Sister Cities International involves people and organize groups at all levels of our society in personal diplomacy. 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, Foothill Middle School and Pleasant Hill Middle Schools will participate in an exchange of students and teachers with Siofok, Hungary and Noceto, Italy. As part of this program, teachers at Foothill MS and Pleasant Hill MS, will be traveling as chaperones to Siofok, Hungary and Noceto, Italy in October 2014. Students from these Sister Cities will visit MDUSD schools during April 2015. During the year, our students will study the host countries and write reports. Board approval is requested for teachers and students to participate in the program.
