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:
“Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
