2013-09-19 04:46 Sister Cities Partners with Area Schools on Global Fluency Fort Worth Sister Cities welcomed and recognized the newly appointed International Academic Ambassador Chairs recently at a reception held in the Botanic Gardens. These educators are selected by the principals in their schools to serve in this capacity for one academic year. Since 1999, Sister Cities International has established a successful network of school partnerships with public and private middle and high schools with the specific goal of creating and promoting awareness of international educational opportunities for Fort Worth youth and educators. These Ambassador Chairs continue to be an invaluable component of Sister Cities’ international programs to provide youth with relevant cultural experiences preparing them to be successful in today’s global society and workplace.  And, for the teachers, these programs serve as a resource for global educational enrichment.   As we begin the new school year, Fort Worth Sister Cities has planned numerous international initiatives in which local youth and teachers are invited to participate.
