FULBRIGHT CENTER IN NETHERLANDS LOOKING FOR USA TEACHERS FOR EXCHANGE

The Fulbright Center in The Netherlands announces a great opportunity for high school teachers in the USA who want to set up a high school educational exchange with a Dutch high school. In The Netherlands there is a lot of interest in cooperation with an American high school, but most teachers find it difficult to find a partner school. The Fulbright Center wants to mediate in these contacts. Please send an e-mail if you want more information or if you want contact with a Dutch high school teacher. Contact Marlies Eijsink, Program Coordinator of the High School Cooperation Program.
