This forum, held by the People to People Foundation (founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote world peace and understanding) is reserved for the world's top 5-8 graders. The program invites these select students to venture to the United States capital and study the country's most powerful leaders and enjoy up close and personal access to America's top government leaders and renowned public speakers.
To follow is general information regarding the forum. Shortly I will be posting more detailed information including a day-to-day itinerary.
