Overall grant making authority for
this program is contained in the Mutual
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as
amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to
enable the Government of the United
States to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries * * *;
to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the
educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other
nations * * * and thus to assist in the
development of friendly, sympathetic
and peaceful relations between the
United States and the other countries of
the world.’’ The funding authority for
the program above is provided through
legislation.
Purpose
The Summer Institutes for European
Student Leaders are intensive academic
programs whose purpose is to provide
groups of undergraduate leaders an
introduction to a specific field of study,
while also heightening their awareness
of the history and evolution of U.S.
society, culture, values, and institutions,
broadly defined. In this context, the
Institutes should incorporate a focus on
contemporary American life, as it is
shaped by historical and/or current
political, social, and economic issues
and debates. The role and influence of
principles and values such as
democracy, the rule of law, individual
rights, freedom of expression, equality,
and diversity and tolerance should be
addressed.
In addition to promoting a better
understanding of a specific field of
study and the United States, an
important objective of the Institutes is to
develop the participants’ leadership
skills. In this context, the academic
program should include group
discussions, trainings, and exercises
that focus on topics such as leadership,
teambuilding, collective problemsolving skills, effective communication,
and management skills for diverse
organizational settings. Institutes should
include a community service
component in which the students
experience firsthand how not-for-profit
organizations and volunteerism play a
key role in American civil society.
Local site visits should provide
opportunities to observe varied aspects
of American life and to discuss lessons
learned in the academic program. The
program should also include
opportunities for participants to meet
American citizens from a variety of
backgrounds, to interact with their
American peers, and to speak to
appropriate student and civic groups

about their experiences and life in their
home countries.
Overview
Summer Institutes will provide an in
depth study of one of the themes
outlined below. Participants should gain
both theoretical knowledge and
practical skills that will allow them to
excel in their disciplines. In addition to
thematic teaching, all institutes should
explore American history, government,
society, and culture through the lens of
its particular theme. All Institutes
should include opportunities for
leadership development, specifically as
it relates to each field. Institutes should
also expose participants to community
organizations that provide advocacy or
other services relevant to the particular
theme.
Institute Themes
(a) The Summer Institute on
Environmental Stewardship should use
experiential learning techniques to
expose participants to current themes in
studies of the environment, including
natural resource management,
sustainable development/sustainable
agricultural practices, food security,
ecotourism, energy generation (new and
traditional forms), and water
management and treatment. The issues
should be explored from numerous
angles: local grassroots activism and
civic initiatives, market-oriented
approaches, and Federal government
policies and regulation. The Institute
might also examine the relationship
between environmental security and
national security. Finally, the Institute
should explore environmental issues in
the context of a globalized society, and
draw comparisons between the United
States and the participants’ home
countries.
The Institute should also provide
opportunities for participants to engage
with policy makers, individuals in
technical positions, community
representatives, indigenous leaders, and
other key actors committed to the
protection and management of the
environment.
The Summer Institute on
Environmental Stewardship will host
approximately 18 undergraduate
students. Student participants are
expected to be conversant in English;
however, the host campus should be
prepared to offer English language
support, such as individual tutoring or
small-group classes, if necessary.
(b) The Summer Institute on
Innovation and Economics should
provide participants with an overview
of entrepreneurship, including ways of
employing entrepreneurial skills to
