“Alternative Education Week” @ FEAC-EducationUSA Center

After kicking off its first “Alternative Education Week” program in style, with two events at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest, the Fulbright Educational Advising Center-EducationUSA hosted three other successful events held under the “Alternative Education Week” umbrella.

On Tuesday, April 7, we hosted an online interactive presentation delivered by Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Logan Woods. High school students from Bacău and Sibiu joined us via NewRow for this engaging webinar titled “Cultural Regions of the U.S.”. Mr. Woods, a graduate of Albion College, gave us an overview of the cultural map of the U.S., using his personal narrative to highlight cultural and linguistic differences and the stigma attached to certain regional accents.

Baltimore, A Tale of Two Cities

"A wonderful and truly 'enriching' experience, I cannot find a better or more telling word to describe the initiative of gathering together Fulbright scholars, to visit, come to know, and share the life of a city, its recent history, its present problems and challenges, its future and its new profile!
 
The Fulbright Program gathered 55 Fulbright visiting scholars, from different universities throughout the United States – to Baltimore Enrichment Seminar (25 – 28th of March) - which was focused on two related aspects of the city, two tales: Public Health and Environment. I found it most enriching not only because anyone of us, participants, discovered the background history, the social, economic and local community issues of Baltimore, but mainly because we could share that experience and implicitly we compared it with our own - in our countries and cities.
