Open world program titled Provision of Municipal Services
ICW hosted Russian professionals from our Sister city, Pushkin from September 17-25. Two men and three women from Pushkin town Administration and educational institutions visited Worcester to fulfill their business program and get a unique experience from their American colleagues. They took part in a professional exchange program on the theme of “Accountable Governance: Provision of Municipal Services” funded by the Open World Leadership Center at the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. The delegates met with Mayor O’Brien, City Councilors, and representatives of the City Manager’s office. Their program also included visits to the Worcester public school, the YWCA, the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, the College of Professional and Continuing Education at Clark University and guided tours of Boston and Worcester. We had wonderful families who hosted one or two of these five delegates in their homes for eight days.
Comments from participants are welcome.
