On February 1st and 2nd, 39 high school exchange students in the United States, under the auspices of the American Serbia & Montenegro Youth Leadership Exchange Program (A-SMYLE), Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) , and Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES), attended a joint mid-term program and the Iowa Student Global Leadership Workshop in Des Moines, Iowa. During the World Link mid-term program, students worked with images that form leadership habits and attitudes. Students discovered their leadership style and score and developed plans for utilizing their leadership skills at home and school, in addition to their volunteer work, communities, and home countries. At the Iowa Student Global Leadership Workshop, the students joined American students and other international students to participate in interactive activities using the Global Peace Index and an international trade simulation.
