October 8, 2005 Consulate General Leipzig invited exchange organizations, students, parents and teachers to an all-day youth exchange fair at the Leipzig Public Library. About 300 students gathered information on educational opportunities in the U.S. and listened to Sylvia Schill, co-author of “A High School Year in the U.S.” Bundestag deputy Rainer Fornahl talked about the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange Program while a recently returned German student recounted her U.S. experiences as Au pair. Consul for Political and Economic Affairs Mike Rousek welcomed the 25 exchange organizations from all over Germany and singled out youth exchanges as a vital element of German-American relations.
