Egyptian student George Philoubos was recently selected to attend the Civic Education Week conference in Washington DC. The one-week conference is put on annually by American Councils for all YES, FLEX, and A-SMYLE students. Students are selected based on a program-wide essay competition. Congratulations, George!
The Civic Education Program is a special workshop for approximately 100 YES, FLEX and A-SMYLE students currently living in the United States. The program provides an opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of some of the democratic concepts and values that are such an integral part of these programs. Participants will also have a chance to learn firsthand about the federal system of government and other important issues through discussions, briefings, and meetings on Capitol Hill.
