Grant Description: The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition to conduct the Spring 2006 Civic Education workshop for the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program. Overall goals of the workshop are: 1) to expose high school students from Eurasia to federal political processes and citizen participation in government at the national level; 2) to examine the concept of effective leadership in society through looking at positive and negative examples and role models; 3) to instill in students the importance of tolerance and respect for individual differences in a civil society; and 4) to provide students with specific tools they can take home to aid in the transformation of their home countries to democratic and civil societies. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to develop and conduct a one-week workshop in Washington, D.C. in spring 2006 that focuses on the basic tenets of the Constitution and the fundamental elements of a civil society, including the relationship between the federal government and state and local governments, and the rule of law in a civil society.
