Why I am an ÖAG member

I became acquainted with the society when I was asked to teach English courses there in the late 70s. The opportunity to exchange opinions and cultural traditions, as well as to eliminate false beliefs and prejudice, is positive for both countries. Our program allows Americans away from home to take part in such traditional annual events as Thanksgiving and the 4th of July celebration, while giving Austrians insight into and understanding of American culture and providing a basis to form inter-cultural friendships.
