"One hundred and eleven students from Brazilian public schools are participating, from July 1 to 5, in an English Immersion program “English Immersion USA” – sponsored by the United States Embassy and its Consulates in Brazil. In this thirteenth edition of the program, all Brazilian states and the Federal District are represented in Brasilia for a week totally immersed in American culture with plenty of time to practice their English.
During the program, students will attend conversation, history and geography classes, play sports and learn about American culture and cuisine. In addition, all of the participating students will present an action plan in social entrepreneurship to be implemented in their respective communities, using their experience and learnings from the immersion week in BrasÃlia. All activities will be conducted in English so that the participants can develop their skills in the language and deepen their knowledge of the cultural diversity of the United States.
The selectees are between 15 and 18 years old, are all engaged in social projects in their communities, have academic excellence and were semifinalists of the selection process to the Youth Ambassadors Program in 2019.
