Camp Courage

About

Camp Courage aims to empower young Slovaks aged 15-17 to become active citizens, increase their English language ability, learn more about U.S. democratic values, and offer participants the necessary life-long tools to engage in the civic sphere.

Through this unique program, Slovak teens will get the chance to understand civic duty first-hand, while augmenting their English language skills needed for our globalized world. Students will engage in six days of learning and activities designed to help them better understand how government works, what parliament does, and how they can get involved.

All camp activities will advance leadership and other 21st Century skills development by cultivating critical thinking, public speaking, teambuilding, and goal setting. Teaching methods will include interactive workshops and simulations, peer discussions, and interactions with decision-makers, including Members of Parliament, Government, and their staff, as well as study visits to relevant organizations and institutions.

A program is sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Slovakia and coordinated by American Councils for International Education-Slovakia.
