The European Education students came over for lunch today and we discussed values. Each brought some food and a memento that would help us understand who they are, told us about a value that they felt strongly about and what happened in their life to make that so important. They felt strongly about things like respect for others, responsibility, honesty. Again, I was very impressed with all of them. We were lucky because the sun was shining as we sat on the deck and talked and ate. I got everything into the house after they left just seconds before it started to rain. (As I'm about to post this, there's rare - for Anchorage - thunder.)Then I got this email that says you can come see and hear them yourselves:
The participants of the US Department of State sponsored Summer Institute for Outstanding Student Leaders in Education will present their perspectives of the "New Faces of Europe" on [Tuesday] August 12 and [Wednesday] August 20 from 4-7 p.m. in Rasmuson Hall, room 110. [at UAA]
This presentation is open to the public and is an opportunity to find out how Europe is changing for 13 outstanding student educators who will lead

The presentations of last year's group were very interesting - a rare opportunity here in Anchorage to have a number of young European adults talking about how they see the world. Plus you can ask them questions. They're from Germany, France, Spain, and England. All speak very good English. The Germans include students of Turkish, Greek, and Albanian ethnicity.
