Tisztelt TÖK Listatagok!

Egy jövő évi, USA-ban, West Virginiaban  megrendezendő tudományos táborba 
tudunk majd két magyar résztvevőt küldeni, amint találkozunk személyesen is 
Andrew N. Blackwooddal, aki június 13-14-én, egy kórussal épp Budapestre 
látogat.  A kiválasztást valószínűleg a Követség fogja bonyolítani, de Mr. 
Blackwooddal akár non-profitként is fel lehet venni a kapcsolatot, hátha 
sikerül egy chileihez hasonló programot összeállítani.  Erről érdemes lenne a 
TÖK-ön belül egyeztetnünk, hogy meg tudjuk osztani vele az ötleteinket június 
14-én. 


Alább idézek Mr. Blackwood leveléből:


"On June 13-4, 2012, I will accompany the West Virginia Youth Symphony 
Orchestra as they visit Hungary as part of a larger 10-day European 
performance tour; my daughter, Molly, is a cellist with the Orchestra.  While 
I will primarily be traveling as a chaperone and supporter of the WVYSO, I 
hope to also develop contacts that might lead to future youth exchange 
collaborations.

I am the executive director of the National Youth Science Foundation, a 
non-profit organization based in Charleston, West Virginia, that develops and 
operates innovative youth science education programs.  The Foundation's 
flagship program, the National Youth Science Camp (www.nysc.org), has hosted 
279 international students from 27 countries at no cost to the student - 
transportation included!  An annual grant from the United States Department 
of State supports 16 students from the Americas; additional students, 
including some from Europe, are supported with grants provided by embassies 
of the United States or private entities.  In 2011, the Foundation also 
hosted a delegation of education officials from Chile at the science camp.  
As a result of this visit I was invited to travel to Chile this past January 
to share our experiences operating non-traditional science education programs 
with others in the Chilean science education community.  We strongly believe 
that fostering and supporting international relationships between young 
scientists is particularly important to the continuing success of science 
education in the United States.  You can see more about what we do on our web 
site (www.nysf.com); feedback about the Chilean students participation in the 
2011 NYSC is available here: http://wp.me/p159Cv-bT.";
