The Co Kildare Twinning – USA Committee are organising an exchange programme again this year. The eligible students of CPC will be informed and given the opportunity to apply for this programme (closing date in early Feb). Students must be 15 years old by 1st June 2012. An information evening for students and parent(s) will be organised in the coming weeks.
Young people from Co Kildare will have the opportunity to visit Lexington, Kentucky, USA. The Co Kildare student’s parent(s) must be willing to receive a US student in their home.
The exchange will be for 10 days during the summer (probably July). The students will travel as a group with an adult chaperone. The transportation cost will be approximately €800. The host family will provide Room & Board.
The purpose of the programme is to provide a genuine cultural and family experience in another country for second level students of Co Kildare and those of Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
