Utilidade pública (infelizmente o texto está em inglês e não tenho tempo para traduzir) | ANÚNCIO DE PROGRAMA INTERNACIONAL DE INTERCÂMBIO PARA ALUNOS ENTRE 18-ANOS E PROFESSORES, PATROCINADO PELO GOVERNO AMERICANO. INSCRIÇÕES ATÉ 29 DE DEZEMBRO

The Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Luanda is pleased to invite candidate nominations for the 2017 Pan-Africa Youth Leadership Program (PAYLP).  

The program gives secondary school youth (ages 15-18 years old) and adult educators the opportunity to explore themes such as entrepreneurship, civic education, youth leadership and economic development, and respect for diversity.  Through three-week, intensive exchanges in the United States, participants engage in workshops on leadership and service, community site visits related to the program themes and subthemes, interactive training in conflict resolution, presentations, visits to high schools, local cultural activities, and homestays with local American families.  A key component of the program is to develop community-based projects in their home communities to affect change upon their return home.  

For example, two students from Togo developed a girl’s empowerment program with a social entrepreneurship aspect built in via beading projects.  Two other participants worked with young inmates in a local prison to develop vocational skills to help prepare them for their reintegration into society.  A young participant from Chad developed a community library at a local high school to decrease the school’s high drop-out rate. 


Four of the exchanges will be conducted in English and two will be conducted in French.  

This program is fully funded by the U.S. government.  The deadline to submit your application is – December 29, 2016

Each exchange delegation will also include adult participants who are teachers, trainers, or community leaders who work with youth.  They will have the role of exchange participant, chaperone, and post-exchange mentor.  There will be approximately three adult educators per delegation.  Please note that while each delegation will include a small number of adult educators, not every country cohort will be able to include an adult educator.
