Mongolians learn history of American Democracy
A delegation from Mongolia visited central Virginia to learn about American democracy.
A delegation from Mongolia visited central Virginia to learn about American democracy. It got a look at one of the Founding Fathers’ homes today in order to bring history into perspective. Orange County's Montpelier was host to the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics exchange group. Young Mongolian professionals are taking part in the center's Global Perspectives on Democracy program. This is the second group of Mongolian fellows this year for UVA’s Center for Politics. The group will spend most of its time in the Charlottesville area focusing on the environment, unemployment, and government transparency. “I want to learn about the history of this country, so that I would have like what to actually look for in my own country’s history, because if you … when you live in a certain country you just don't have time or like willingness to really learn about this because you've always been there,” says Zoljargal Mendbayar, Leaders Advancing Democracy-Mongolia Fellow. In addition to learning about U.S. history and leadership, the group will travel to Virginia Beach for another session. The Mongolian delegation will leave the Charlottesville area the first week of October.
