SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAMThe U.S. Embassy introduced this program to give teachers and students the possibility to meet and talk to diplomats of the U.S. Embassy or the U.S. Missions to the OSCE and United Nations in Vienna.Visits may be structured to meet curriculum needs, and the discussions are generally conducted in English. The speakers present a short overview of a particular subject relating to American society - e.g. popular culture, the educational system, domestic politics, daily life - as well as issues pertaining to international affairs, or talk more generally about their lives (their jobs, the schools and universities they attended, their hometowns) and then open the floor to discussion and questions. If you would be interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please contact the American Reference Center (arc@usembassy.at) for more information and to make arrangements.
