Ambassador Polt to Launch "Arcs of Diplomacy" Project at III Beogradska Gimnazija

On Wednesday, June 13, at 1 p.m., U.S. Ambassador Michael C. Polt will officially launch the new program "Arcs of Diplomacy" at the Third Belgrade High School.

"Arcs of Diplomacy" is a program established to connect the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade with several secondary schools throughout Serbia on an on-going basis. Through this school-Embassy network, students from Serbia will be able to interact with Embassy officials on a regular basis as well as make annual visits to the Embassy to learn more about U.S. diplomacy and how an American Embassy functions. American diplomats will in turn have the opportunity to hear from young Serbians about issues of importance to them. The program also includes an annual essay competition, funding for community projects and materials related to the U.S. for the schools. The Embassy hopes that this program will motivate schools and students to be engaged and socially active within their own communities.

The official launch of the "Arcs of Diplomacy" program will take place in the state-room of the Third Belgrade High School with Principal Dragana Vasic and several dozen students representing the school.

Journalists interesting in covering this event should be at the high school on June 13, no later than 12:45 pm. After a discussion session between Ambassador Polt and the students, the media will be given the opportunity to ask questions.

AMBASADOR POLT PROMOVIŠE PROJEKAT "SVODOVI DIPLOMATIJE" U TREĆOJ BEOGRADSKOJ GIMNAZIJI

U sredu, 13. juna, u 13 časova, ambasador SAD Majkl K. Polt će zvanično promovisati novi projekat pod imenom "Svodovi diplomatije". Promocija će se održati u Trećoj beogradskoj gimnaziji.

"Svodovi diplomatije" je projekat ustanovljen da poveže ambasadu SAD u Beogradu sa nekoliko srednjih škola sa teritorije cele Srbije. Kroz ovo povezivanje između škola i ambasade, učenici iz Srbije će biti u mogućnosti da se redovno sreću sa zvaničnicima ambasade kao i da povremeno posećuju ambasadu kako bi saznali više o američkoj diplomatiji i o tome kako jedna Američka ambasada funkcioniše. Projekat takođe uključuje godišnje takmičenje u pisanju eseja, finansiranje raznih projekata u lokalnim zajednicama kao i materijala o SAD koji će se koristiti u školama. Ambasada se nada da će ovaj projekat motivisati škole i učenike da budu uključeni i društveno aktivni u svojim lokalnim zajednicama.

Zvanični početak projekta "Svodovi diplomatije" održaće se u svečanoj sali Treće beogradske gimnazije sa direktorkom Draganom Vasić i nekoliko desetina učenika koji će predstavljati školu.

Novinari zainteresovani za izveštavanje o ovom događaju bi trebalo da budu u Trećoj beogradskoj gimnaziji 13. juna, najkasnije do 12:45 časova. Nakon razgovora ambasadora Polta sa učenicima, mediji će imati priliku da postave pitanja ambasadoru.
