Description
The U.S. Department of State’s Consulate General Toronto announces an open competition to implement a program to provide Canadian university students with a short-term study tour in the United States that provides a deeper understanding of America’s founding history and values. The program will include visits to locations of historical significance associated with the American Revolution, creation of the U.S. Constitution, and establishment of an independent United States, as well as to cultural and educational institutions that highlight American excellence. These visits will be paired with lectures and discussions by U.S. experts on American history, federalism, and the U.S. Constitution, and how this history informs American values and policy today. Participants will develop a project after completing the study tour that amplifies their learning and experience and shares the information from their program with a broader Canadian audience. The target audience is Canadian citizens studying American Studies, history, political science or other relevant fields at the undergraduate or graduate level at Canadian universities. The program advances the goal of communicating America’s story of excellence and leadership, cultivating a cohort of future Canadian leaders in education, government, and international relations with a positive view of the United States who view the United States as a trusted partner.
