(KLZA) On Monday, more than 80 Nebraska high school students will travel to the State Capitol for the 15th Nebraska Capitol Forum on America’s Future.
Sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and Secretary of State John Gale, Capitol Forum is designed to engage high school students in a discussion about our nation’s future in a changing international environment. This year, 21 teachers and their students are taking part.
The day will begin at 8:20 a.m. with a greeting from Governor Dave Heinemann and from Secretary Gale. During the morning, students will meet in break-out sessions in which they will discuss U.S. foreign policy topics including: terrorism, immigration, global environment, trade and nuclear proliferation. That afternoon, students will move to the Warner Chamber, where they will present and deliberate options related to the future of U.S. foreign policy.
As part of the program students also create posters, which will be on display in the Rotunda, depicting their various viewpoints. The day will culminate in a question-and-answer period in the Warner Chamber involving U.S Senator Mike Johanns and U.S. Representatives Jeff Fortenberry and Lee Terry.
