The U.S.-Poland Parliamentary youth exchange group began their weeklong civics education workshop in Washington, DC on March 1. During a session hosted by the Polish Embassy, followed by the Embassy tour, Poland’s Ambassador to the United States, Robert Kupiecki answered the students’ questions on the importance of international educational exchange and the relationship between the U.S. and Poland. Each student received a bag with the 90th anniversary commemorative book signed by Ambassador Kupiecki. The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw proudly inaugurated the U.S.-Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange in early February as part of this year's celebration of 90 years of U.S.-Polish diplomatic relations. Senator Richard Lugar, who championed the program in Congress, has hailed the launch of this new exchange program in a press release issued February 15.
