Parliamentary Exchange Programmes
The ESU places approximately 12 British students in the offices of members of the US Congress and the Assemblee Nationale in Paris each summer, and in turn places American and French students in the offices of MPs at Westminster. The programme has been running since 1986. Alumni include Gordon Corera, editor of the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, and Paddy O'Connell, broadcaster.

Famous quotes containing the word exchange:
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymers had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my loves side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
