UNESCO Youth Festival in Stuttgart (July 13 - 20, 2008)
We have a great opportunity to send a few students enrolled in German language classes to Stuttgart this summer.

Stuttgart is inviting 500 young people from 50 different countries. They will receive private individual accommodation in families, or group accommodation in clubs, schools and the facilities of the Stuttgarter Jugendhaus e.V. (Stuttgart Youth Association). All the meals are covered and each student will be picked from the Stuttgart airport/train. Students will have to pay for their airfare.

The overall theme of UNESCO is art, music, sports, literature and science.

The students will be participating in works shops, sightseeing tours, concerts and particpate in various sport activities.

Please contact me for more information as I have the complete program and a lot more info available. Again, this is available to students enrolled in German language programs and are St. Louis City/County residents.
