On the 7th of October the interviewing Board of ESU Argentina met at the offices of Cambridge ESOL Argentina to select one candidate to study in USA from January to June 2010, on the scholarship that the USA Branch offers students of our member schools every year.
Several pre-selected candidates were interviewed, all highly recommended by their School Heads. After careful consideration we chose in the first place Agustín Suárez Ortega from Del Viso Day School, over eight other applicants. Runner-up was María Julieta Crouzel from Colegio Jesús María de Buenos Aires.
Also, we met María Florencia Montesinos, Luciano Manuel Mónaco and María Victoria Catta from Escuela Argentina Modelo, Ana Paola Keller Sarmiento from St Andrew’s Scots School, Mariana Welsh Miguens from Colegio Jesús María de Buenos Aires, Francisco Accornero from Del Viso Day School and Jacques Marfort from Colegio Champagnat.
We were agreeably impressed at all the candidates’ fluency, command of the language, clear views and personal qualities evinced during the interviews. We are certain that these qualities will make them succeed in whatever path they choose to take in their life.
We want to congratulate their parents, their teachers and their schools for having helped shape these very special people who will doubtlessly leave their mark in the future of our country.

The English-Speaking Union
International Relations Conference
Oriel College, Oxford
 The interviewing panel of ESU Argentina’s Executive Committee was very impressed with the credentials of all eight candidates interviewed.
All the participants showed a deep interest in gaining an insight into the international role of Britain in the actual world, its institutions, its
 parliamentary and educational system, and its peace keeping policies, among other current issues. Given the high quality of the applicants, the process proved to be a most difficult task.
A unanimous decision was reached to choose Ms. Noel Alonso-Murray as the Argentine candidate to represent Argentina in the International Relations Conference to be held from 27th July to 2nd August at Oriel College, Oxford. Ms. Alonso-Murray holds a BS in Political Science from Universidad Católica Argentina (Buenos Aires, Argentina), and has been awarded a one-year scholarship by the Ibero-American and International Administration and Public Policies Foundation (Madrid, Spain). Since 2001 she has been working together with many national and local legislators on different matters, including international affairs.
 Another applicant, Mr. Juan R. Larrouy, was offered the opportunity to attend the Conference by paying the appropriate tuition (which, for candidates put forward by the ESU, is £980). Mr. Larrouy’s employer has agreed to fund his tuition. Mr. Larrouy holds a law degree from Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) and specializes in labor law.

 The annual ESU International Relations Conference took place at
Oriel College, Oxford at the end of July. It was attended by 27
delegates from 23 countries from South America, Europe, the
Middle East and the Far East.

offers
delegates a perspective on international relations and Britain’s role
in the world today. It also affords them an invaluable opportunity
to meet people from various fields, cultures and backgrounds.
Lord Hunt attended the conference’s celebratory dinner and gave
an overview of the English-Speaking Union.
Formal proceedings were opened by Sir Jeremy Greenstock, former
British Ambassador to the United Nations in New York. He was
followed by a series of speakers including Prof Alan Lee Williams,
Chairman, Sir William Beveridge Foundation, Lord Watson, Ralph
Land, Chairman of Trustees, British Consultancy Charitable Trust,
Edward Gould, ESU Deputy Chairman and Dr Alastair Niven,
Principal of Cumberland Lodge.
Their topics ranged from Peace Keeping and Peace Enforcing,

and the Parties, to The Status of the Arts, Eastern Europe and
the EU and The Internet and the Media. Valerie Mitchell was the
guest speaker at the closing dinner.
We would like to thank The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Swire
Charitable Trust, The Drue Heinz Trust, Lloyd George Management,

SECONDARY SCHOOL EXCHANGE SCHOLARSHIP IN ARGENTINA NORTHLANDS SCHOOL
My Experience at Northlands
Song and laughter and kilts and textbooks and Spanish and vivacity greeted me as I entered the very intimidating portal into the Northlands world. Still somewhat fatigued from the 11-hour-flight the day before
 |
and apprehensive to start my first day of high school (yet again!), I was overwhelmed by all of this activity. I missed the summer, I missed my friends and family, I missed my bed and I missed America. As I was led to “the principal’s office” to get my class schedule, I couldn’t help but wonder how exactly I had ended up 5506.1 miles from home in the booming metropolis of Buenos Aires. I had traveled before, but certainly never for four months at a time. I didn’t know very much about Argentina, I was insecure about my grasp of the Spanish language, and I was worried about having to start all over again. I love meeting new people and making new friends, but there is always an ineluctable trepidation with any new experience. I soon came to find out, however, that I was in the best of hands.
 |
To start, the curriculum at Northland’s is top-notch… I went to an elite boarding school in the United States and graduated in June, but I still found myself challenged and intrigued by the IB program and material the teachers presented. The school is gorgeous and I loved my art class! I could also feel my Spanish improving as the days passed. However, though I am technically here to “study”, I believe, my experience at Northlands has not really been about the teachers or the classes. The amazing women I go to school with, the people I have met and spent hours with and truly befriended, have defined my Northlands experience. The girls are so genuine, so interesting, so fun and friendly and admirable. We went to soccer matches and parties and symphonies and concerts and museums and art exhibits and riding on the “moto”; we went shopping and to the country club and out for ice cream and to the movies and out for lunch. We circled around the grill for asados, we held each other up after long nights of dancing, we struggled with words that got twisted in translation, we painted each others’ nails and worked on projects together and donned one-pieces and swim caps for gym class swimming and laughed and bonded – I have made so many amazing friends here, friends I no doubt will keep forever (we’re already planning our reunion!).
Everything about my experience in Argentina has been fabulous – both host families I have lived with were amazing, the city of Buenos Aires itself is so rich with culture and creativity, and the people are some of the nicest I have ever met. By attending Northlands, I was able to experience all of these things to the fullest. Northlands has provided much more than an extended education for me… it has become a home-away-from-home. Northlands has really allowed me to capitalize on the opportunity I was given in coming to Argentina… it has taught me in many, many ways. As I pack my things to leave for Mar del Plata tomorrow, I can't believe 2 months have already passed. I have done so much here, felt so much, learned so much, experienced so much. Academics, yes, but also (and more importantly), self-actualization, achievement and amistad – this was my experience at Northlands. ¡Que rico!

Capitol Hill Program
This program offers Argentine students of political sciences, international relations and law the possibility of spending a few months in Washington, D.C., working as interns at the US Senate. It was first put in place in 2008.
Patricio Abal, a law student from Universidad Católica Argentina (and a high school graduate from Holy Trinity School, Mar del Plata) was chosen as the best candidate to represent ESU Argentina at the very first round of the program.
Michael R. Rattagan
The Capitol Hill program is a joint initiative between the Argentina and the United States chapters of the ESU. The program consists in having students spend a few months as interns in a congressional office in Washington, D.C. Students normally come from different academic backgrounds (mainly political sciences, law or international relations) and all share a real interest in the intricacies of politics.
Interns work side by side with congressional staffers doing research and drafting memoranda projects as well as in providing services or feedback to constituents. The position requires candidates to be up to date with current US and international events, have excellent communication and socializing skills and be ready to work hard. Interns are often asked to draft memos that are read by a U.S. Senator or to help in writing letters to concerned constituents.
As a member of a congressional office interns are immersed in the world of special interests, lobbying and negotiations.
The experience not only happens inside the doors of a Senate or House office. Washington D.C. is a city rich in all sorts of social happenings. On any given day, interns may attend a briefing, conference or reception revolving around any topic currently being discussed in the public arena.

Words from Jean Garvie:
"Welcome to wherever you are......." it struck me as I enjoyed the afternoon´s programme that were one to continue the opening words of Bon Jovi´s lyrics sung to us by Pablo Kruls  by adding : ".... on the continuum of excellence of musical performance" this might very well serve to sum up the ESU´s intention when inviting contestants to participate in this event.
All contestants today have in common the strength of their youthful exuberance and an innate sense of rhythm which seemed to be the very pulse of their love of life. We enjoyed a wide diversity of songs and each was delivered with total commitment.
It was an honour for me to present the Martin Garvie Trophy in memory of my late husband Martin Garvie who devoted so much of his life to enabling the young to discover and develop their musical talents.
Me despido .
Un abrazo,
Jean

she stayed with ESU families. She also visited Hereford where she
was given a tour of Hereford Cathedral and Hereford Cathedral

Maria’s trip coincided with the Commonwealth Day Service in
Westminster Abbey, so she was also able to attend this in the

President of the ESU, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
Warm thanks go to ESU branches who provided a home-stay for
Maria.

Results of the Selection of Candidates for the Secondary School Exchange Programme January-June 2008 in USA
On the 29th of August the interviewing Board of ESU Argentina met at ESSARP to select one candidate to study in USA from January to June 2008, on the scholarship that the USA Branch offers students of our member schools every year.
Several pre-selected candidates were interviewed, all highly recommended by their School Heads.
After careful consideration we chose in the first place Camila Crescimbeni from Northlands School, in the second place María Mercedes Capozucca from Escuela Argentina Modelo, and in the third place Eduardo Maggi from Norbridge High School.
We were agreeably impressed at all the candidates’ fluency, command of the language, clear views and personal qualities evinced during the interviews. We are certain that these qualities will make them succeed in whatever path they choose to take in their life.
We want to congratulate their parents, their teachers and their schools for having helped shape these very special people who will doubtlessly leave their mark in the future of our country.

The
English-Speaking Union
International Relations Conference
Oriel College, Oxford
The applications of eight young professionals between 26 and 40 years were received for this year’s International Relations Conference, which was held from 15th to 21st July at Oriel College, Oxford. It was a very difficult decision since all candidates were excellent. All the participants –lawyers, economists, teachers and international relations professionals alike– showed a deep interest in gaining an insight into the international role of Britain in the actual world, its institutions, its parliamentary and educational system, and its peace keeping policies, among other current issues.
This year the Ms Maria Irigoyen was elected to represent Argentina. The election of the candidate to attend the Conference was mainly based on her constant use of English in her day to day work, her ability to be a very good “ambassador” of our country, and also her willingness to remaining in contact with ESU upon her return, in a way that she can contribute to some of the activities conducted by ESU Argentina.

ALUMNUS BECOME ESU CHAIRMAN
The Lord Hunt of Wirral
At the AGM held on 30 November, ESU Governors elected The
Rt Hon. The Lord Hunt of Wirral to the position of Chairman.
A lawyer and former Government Minister, Lord Hunt's association with
the English-Speaking Union stretches back more than forty years. As
a student studying law at Bristol University in 1965, he partnered
Bob Marshall-Andrews (now MP) to win the Observer Mace which, since
1995, has been administered by the ESU and is known as the John Smith
Memorial Mace. Lord Hunt was subsequently selected, in 1967, to take
part in a debate tour of the United States.
Recognising the power of speech, his passion for argument and dispute
resolution led Lord Hunt into a career in the legal profession. An
ESU member since 1976, he was invited to become an ESU Governor in
1999. His first decision was to support the Board to borrow £1million
for the refurbishment of Dartmouth House. Three years later he became
Deputy Chairman and, since then, has been involved in the governance
of the ESU. |

Speech by Michael R. Rattagan, ESU Argentina, one of the two main
speakers
Plenary Session on International Themes: The Communication Challenge,
The English Speaking Union World Members’ Conference,
The Roosevelt Hotel, New York, 7th October 2004
Moderator: The Lord Watson of Richmond CBE,
Chairman, ESU International Council
Report
Mr. Michael Rattagan, a lawyer and partner for Rattagan, Macchiavello,
Arocena & Peña Robirosa
First of all, I wanted to send you greetings from Malcolm
Rodman, Chairman of ESU Ar-gentine, who unfortunately could
not make it to this meeting.
I was asked to give a short presentation, and wanted to speak
to you briefly of the impor-tance of the English language
in Argentina; then go into ESU’s work in Argentina,
and fi-nally address the specific topic of this panel, the
communication challenge.
I am sure not many of you know that the influence from the
English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish communities in Argentina
is very significant and dates back to the early 19th century,
when British banks and engineering firms played a big role
in the construc-tion of railways and ports. Given its bad
relations with Spain, England was one of the first countries
to formally recognize Argentina following its independence.
I personally come from an Irish family that settled in Argentine
in the 1850s and kept lan-guage and tradition for many generations,
so much so that my father took a boat and went to Ireland
to find a suitable bride!
English was, therefore, almost my mother tongue.
I first came across the ESU in the year 2001, when I received
an invitation, addressed to young professionals, to apply
for a scholarship to attend the International Conference at
Oriel College, in Oxford. When I read what were the goals
and objectives of the ESU I felt totally identified: the English
language had been so crucial in my personal and profes-sional
life that I felt the ESU was “spreading the gospel”
to someone who was already a convert: so much so that I only
speak English to my children to that they may have the same
opportunities I had and so they may become open to cultures
and friendships around the world. For me it was a magnificent
experience, to meet representatives from about 40 different
countries, with their own cultural, professional and even
religious backgrounds, and see how well they could all interact
and learn from one another and even start long lasting relationships
just thanks to the English language.
The ESU Argentina has worked very hard for many years to strengthen
the awareness of the need to expand and improve the use of
English around the country. A large number of schools actively
participate in the various programs:
- Public speaking competition;
- Farming Exchange (a farming student spends three months
on farms in Scotland and England) and a young farmer visits
Argentine farms for three months;
- National Singing Competition;
- Selection of a teacher for the Cultural Seminar in London;
- Selection of a young professional for the Summer Conference
at Oxford;
- Lunch with a guest speaker aimed at the business community;
- Reading competition for students from non-bilingual schools.
- Secondary School Exchange sponsored by ESU US;
- Walter Hines Page Programme for an Argentine teacher to
visit US Schools organized by ESU US and reciprocal WHPP
for a US teacher to visit schools in Argentina;
- Books across the sea sponsored by Baltimore Branch of
ESU US.
ESU Argentina is currently working on a number of additional
programs to be implemented shortly, including a scholarship
for a young student of political sciences to live in Washington
and work as an assistant to a Congressman; schoolchildren
short story competition, and an annual gathering with former
ESU scholars.
The need to obtain institutional sponsorships and sources
of funding in general is a acute problem, particularly in
times of crisis, such as the one we are going through: companies
tend to quickly cut back sponsoring programs, without realizing
that their short term needs will jeopardize long term programs.
With respect to the specific topic of this panel, the “Communication
Challenge”, I have come across a few ideas:
- Internet and technology and the spread of the English
language:
The Internet has revolutionized the way and the speed in
which new ideas are spread around the world, and English
appears to be the preferred language when it comes to the
Internet and e-mail communications.
- Availability of the Internet and technology
In spite of the positive impact, as suggested above, are
the Internet and technology really closing the gap between
children from developed countries and those and poor countries
or is it increasing it?
One cannot but wonder if those children with no access (or
very limited access) to technology are not being condemned
to becoming the new “illiterates” of the world.
Governments and international agencies programs should aim
at allowing access to technology to all kids.
- The role of the media in setting aside prejudices.
The international media must develop to become a tool to
expand knowledge of other countries and cultures and facilitating
understanding. Sometimes we wonder if we are not being forced
to see a too “one sided” version of world affairs.
That is all I have to say.
Thank you.
