“The RIAS program was an amazing experience for me, I came back filled to the brink with new impressions and information! It was a great look behind the scenes, into the minds and workings of all the people we met. And there were a lot of fascinating people who we met: politicians, thinkers, decisionmakers, journalists… Getting to talk to them, hearing their side of the story and discussing it in our group, gave me many new perspectives and insights. I really appreciate being given this opportunity, enjoyed it immensely and made new friends. I don‘t think there‘s a better way to learn about the USA.”
