Fellows will attend orientation sessions prior to departing for the United States during which they will apply for their U.S. visas, learn about American culture, and review program requirements. Upon arrival in the United States, they will participate in a three-day intensive introduction to the U.S. political process in Denver, CO. Fellows will then begin their fellowships across the United States in state legislatures and city halls, immersing themselves in the daily operations of state governance, government oversight, and citizen participation.
