School class receives information materials about the U.S.

"MEETUS" at Mainz Gymnasium
June 24, 2009. Katie Kyle and Katelyn Andell, two interns with the U.S. Consulate General's Public Affairs section, offered a workshop each on "The United States - A Country of Immigrants" to 7th and 12th graders at the Maria-Ward-School in Mainz. The workshops were part of the consulate's school program "MeetUS." The interns explained and discussed with the students the historical, cultural, social, economic and political dimension of immigration to the United States. At the end of the workshops Kyle and Andell presented the teacher with topic-related materials which were received as a welcome addition to the school’s teaching collection.
