The Bologna Youth Exchange: We launched our PBSCA Youth Exchange last summer, when seven young Bolognese came to Portland, stayed with host families, and for two weeks got to know their sister city. This June, it was Portland's turn to go to Bologna. Six young people from the Portland area--Miki Chong, Lily Jones, Rachel Adams, Katie Hottman, Dimitri and Christina Cacouris--left June 18 to spend two weeks in Bologna, four in homes of last year's visitors to Portland. It was an amazing experience--at once fun, challenging, and memorable.
For impressions from our visitors (in Italian) and photos please take a look at the City of Bologna's website: http://www.giramondo.org/sezioni/sez169.aspx
