Katherine Henly and 3Sat journalist at Goethe-Gymnasium Frankfurt

"MeetUS" school outreach at high schools in Karben and Frankfurt
April 29 and 30, 2008. A member of the IRS at the U.S. Consulate General, and volunteer Katherine Henly offered workshops on “The U.S. Election System and the 2008 Elections” to sixty-five 13th graders at the Kurt Schumacher-Gymnasium in Karben and the Goethe Gymnasium Frankfurt.  They explained the American election system, especially the election of the presidential nominees in a unique primary and caucus system, as well as the candidates’ personal and political backgrounds and positions. They also analyzed the special dynamics of this year's campaign and offered an outlook on the further development of the campaign.  During Henly’s workshop a journalist took film shots for a special 3Sat internet television feature which will be up on the 3Sat homepage as of May 17.
