On November 23, 2013, the Education USA team from U.S. Embassy Vientiane, participated in a exhibition at the 3rd Annual FongLao Mekong Dance festival.  The festival was organized by Fang Lao Company, and more than 100 visitors visited the embassy’s booth.

At the Education USA booth, students were able to read educational materials, and talk with Education USA advisors about exchange programs, scholarships, and how to apply for these programs.  The dance festival was geared towards youth between the ages of 15 – 25, so the booth provided a great way to connect with local youth and answer questions they had about studying in the United States.
