The Ben Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Initiative is a youth exchange program that brings some 70 European and Eurasian teenagers to Wake Forest University in
Winston-Salem, NC for an intensive month of study and cultural exchange.

As part of the curriculum, students are exploring the process of argument and advocacy by preparing 30-second videotaped questions for U.S. presidential candidates. Ten such student questions covering the
environment, foreign policy, civil liberties, and globalization have now been uploaded to YouTube and submitted to CitizenTube for possible inclusion in the July 23 Democratic primary debate in South Carolina (see the questions: www.YouTube.com/user/bftfi).
