>
>I would like to measure interest for a Moscow Study Trip that would
>depart around May 5, 2005 for 3-4 weeks. The purpose, as always, is
>to examine the political, economic and social transition in Russia.
>
>For educators who can be free at this time, Russian schools will be
>in session and visits/contacts can normally be arranged.
>
>This would not only be the 25th anniversary of the trips (1980-
>2005), but we would be present for the 60th anniversary of the
>victory in World War 2, a major event and probably the last special
>commemoration because the remaining veterans are dying off.
>
>As a new feature in 2004, our host assigned a dozen of its students
>to be with us, in groups of 4-5, every day. This meant an immediate
>opportunity for our group to meet Russians. This enhanced learning
>about the city and country and many close friendships formed. I
>expect this experiment to continue in 2005.
>
>A program innovation was to use the history of the Zil automobile
>factory as a way to understand how life and outlooks have changed
>for several generations of Soviet/Russian families. (See the
>schedule at: http://efenster.home.igc.org/sched04.htm)
>
>To decide whether or not to offer a trip, I need to hear promptly
>from potential participants or institutions interested in
>collaboration. See http://efenster.home.igc.org/Coop.htm
>
>Interest in another time, such as during June, should be indicated
>as well.
