Foreign Exchange Programs
Proposed by Dishmcds (Public Discussion)

This bill was proposed to allow a maximum of 15 ordinary citizens to apply for a Foreign Exchange Program run through the MoFA. Citizens who join the FEP shall spend approximately 2 weeks abroad in each country they're assigned to, in an effort to learn about their culture and promote the environment of trust, cooperation, and good relations which we intend to represent in the eUK.
