*Young Turkey/Young America: A New Relationship for a New Age*

*Political Challenges for Future Leaders: ECA/PE/C/EUR-SCA-09-45*
 ------------------------------



The Atlantic Council of the United States (ACUS), in partnership with the
Istanbul Policy Center (IPC) at Sabanci University, has been awarded a
prestigious grant from the U.S. Department of State to administer a dynamic
exchange program designed to connect and build constructive relationships
between future leaders from the United States and Turkey.  This initiative,
the Young Turkey/Young America: A New Relationship for a New Age, will work
towards the vital task of renewing and reinvigorating the important
bilateral relationship between the two nations.



The exchange will take place in mid-2010, and will last for nearly one
month.  Most of the two-week U.S. segment will be held in Washington, DC,
and will also include a visit to a major regional center with strong
international connections, such as Atlanta, Georgia.  The Turkey session
will open with two days in Ankara, and following a homestay weekend, move to
Istanbul for three days.



We are currently seeking applications from exceptional Turkish and American
young professionals, *aged 22-35*.  We are targeting individuals who have
started careers in the fields of public policy, business and journalism, who
possess a strong passion for international engagement and have demonstrated
leadership abilities.  Academic or professional experience in Turkey (for
American applicants) or the United States (for Turkish applicants) is
helpful, but not required. *The program will be paid in full, and
participants will not need to incur any costs.*



Program participants will build enduring connections through hands-on
activities, vigorous discussions, web-based interaction (facilitated by
www.youngatlanticist.org), and joint follow-on projects.  Meetings with
government officials and independent experts will prompt serious
explorations of foreign policy issues.  Through seminars and small working
groups, along with a crisis management simulation, the participants will
build leadership, negotiation, and mediation skills while delving deeply
into complex policy matters and processes. Social events with other young
leaders’ organizations and alumni of past exchanges will encourage the
building of wider networks, while home stays will provide participants with
an intimate glimpse of life on the other side of the Atlantic.  This
combination of activities will help to forge lasting personal and
professional relationships between participants.



To be considered for this program, interested parties should submit the
following materials to (U.S. applicants) David Kirk, Associate Director of
the Young Atlanticist Program, at dkirk at acus.org; or (Turkish applicants)
email ipc at sabanciuniv.edu, by *December 17, 2009*:



·      Current CV, including nationality and age;

·      Application form;

·      Two English language writing samples, each no longer than 5 pages in
length;
