Educational Exchange

Exchange Visitors' Feedback

Have you ever participated in an exchange visitor program or anything similar sponsored by the U.S. Department of State or with U.S. Information Agency (USIA)? If so, we're interested in hearing from you. Many of you have first-hand experience or knowledge of how international exchange participants have shared their U.S. experiences and understanding of U.S. society and policies with others. We at the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs would like to invite our exchange program participants, colleagues working for grantee organizations, affiliated NGOs, U.S. Embassy staff, programming agencies, volunteers, and other interested parties to describe how our current and former program participants share their U.S. experience and understanding of U.S. society and policies, and what personal or institutional linkages may have been built as a result of those experiences. This information will help us assess the "real-world" impact of international exchanges.

To be able to utilize your comments effectively, we have created a repository to capture the impact these programs have had on others. Please note that submissions will be included in an open-access repository and made available to the general public and therefore should not be considered confidential. Please also note that, unfortunately, due to current software limitations within the Department of State, all submissions must be in English.
