The Marshall Memorial Fellowship (MMF) provides a unique opportunity to explore societies, institutions, and people on the other side of the Atlantic. The MMF program draws Fellows from the United States for a three- to four-week traveling program.
Fellows each visit five cities in Europe per trip. They meet formally and informally with a range of policymakers and prominent members of the business, government, political, NGO, and media communities. The German Marshall Fund works closely with partner institutions and individual consultants in each city, providing Fellows with an invaluable local perspective on the transatlantic and domestic issues on the agenda.
My itinerary for the trip is as follows:
2 Days in Washington, DC
4 Days in Brussels
5 Days in Frankfurt
4 Days in Ankara
5 Days in Bucharest
4 Days in Elmau, Germany where I will attend the 2007 Marshall Forum on Transatlantic Affairs
Return to Billings, MT
UPDATE: I will be traveling to both Ankara and Istanbul Turkey. We get two days in each city. I'm really exciting to be traveling to Turkey. I'm hoping to see some great old history and learn more about a nation in transition, facing some issues similar to the US
