The International Services Council of Alabama - selected over 91 other councils in the United States - hosted the delegation, which included reporters, academics, engineers and government officials. They were selected for this program by American embassies in their home countries.
The Near East successor generation has the potential to lead the region into a more prosperous and democratic future. As new leaders arise, the United States has a real and sustained interest in introducing them to American culture and society and thereby eliminating stereotypes.
This program will familiarize young with strategies for directing positive political, social and economic change in a democratic society.
Through meetings, workshops and round-table discussions, the group will examine essential leadership skills needed to balance divergent social demands and interests when confronting political, social, and economic challenge.
