[United State] Fund for American Studies in Greece for Lebanese students - U.S. Embassy Beirut - Lebanon
The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) invites Lebanese students to participate in its International Institute for Political and Economic Studies (IIPES) in Greece, July 13-August 7, 2007.
This academic program is a rewarding experience set in a special educational environment that brings together to learn about each other and explore ways to cross the barriers that divide their cultures through conflict management. With the ongoing clashes in the Midlle East and the age-old tension between ethnicities in the Balkans, students use dialogue to find ideas for peaceful resolution and diplomatic understanding of other cultures. The curriculum teaches important political and philosophical concepts of democratic government and economics, and students apply these lessons to real world situations in their home countries. Upon successful completion of the program, students will gain graduate or undergraduate credit from Georgetown University.
The U.S. Embassy may be able to offer travel grants to students with financial need accepted by IIPES.
