Thanksgiving reminds us that sharing a meal brings communities closer together, at home and abroad. As a popular American holiday, it also helps us think about how important it is to give back and serve others. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs helps create these moments every day through exchange programs. Read about how exchange program participants spent Thanksgiving in the United States and find out how you can become involved in our exchange programs.
