Insights from Past Participants

"The participation in the TYS was a personally enriching experience for me, offering exciting insights into the politics and economy of the USA, as well as the opportunity to build personal contacts. These are essential and valuable. In the interest of a good transatlantic partnership, these are also needed."
Sophia Kircher
First Vice-President
"For me, it was an excellent opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., meet renowned politicians, and get a glimpse into think tanks. I might plan the whole program to be one day longer so there would be more time for professional activities and building connections that could function in the long term—not just as personal contacts, but yielding tangible results as well."
Tamás Szöllősi
Special Education Teacher & Conciller of Covasn County
"I enjoyed the program because it gave me an opportunity to network with like minded colleagues and future world leaders like myself from across the globe. The program was also very bipartisan and provided insights into cross cutting developing issues both domestically and globally."
Maritza T. Adonis
Citizen Diplomat, Global Advocate, and Professor of Law and Business
"Overall, I thought it was a fantastic experience. The organizers did a great job finding high-quality, important organizations to visit. I loved visiting the think tanks and hearing from foreign policy experts, and the visit to the Library of Congress and the Capitol was a very cool experience, especially since I got to experience the tour with Europeans."
