For too long, we've told our children what they can or cannot be.
The work permits were a huge step in the right direction and one that has allowed our great country of Panem to blossom as a nation, more united now than ever. People have learned that they have a choice now, or at least more of one than they once had. A person born into the seam of Twelve could grow up to farm diamonds in One. A person whose grown up in the polluted streets of Eight could breathe in the fresh air of Eleven as they till the plots for new plants. But here is the thing: how are we preparing them for these opportunities?
Sure, it is now perfectly legal for inter-district travel, so long as someone has the proper documents and the proper training. But how is a child who has only ever known the cobbled streets of a more urban district supposed to prosper in a more nature-dominated district? Or vice-versa? There were many question Kieran Emberstatt had, and not enough answers. But he'd promised to give the children better opportunities than he had, or his parents had before him. It had involved a lot of lengthy phone calls, an abysmal amount of paperwork, an embarrassing amount of schmoozing and begging the Capitol for favors, and a not-so-happy wife when he'd shown up thirty minutes late to his own surprise birthday party, but he'd gotten it done.
Districts Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, and Eleven. The underdogs. It was them, the middle districts who were so often forgotten about. He hoped, with time, to involve even more districts, perhaps even entertaining the idea that, some day, children could realistically go anywhere and become anything, so long as they had the ambition and the drive to see it through. And so it was decreed: Children between the ages of 14 and 18 could apply for the exchange program. There would be no money involved, but instead a talent-and-interest based selection program, overseen by each District's mayor and the heads of the schools the students would be attending.tl;dr
Children from Districts Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, and Eleven may now go to school because of a student-exchange program!rules
- students must be between the ages of 14-18
- programs are on a school year basis, not a semester, meaning students will commit to living in another district from roughly September-May in any given year- students may not quit the program early or visit home for any reason other than ones sanctioned by the capitol, other than by being expelled from the program- the same student may not go to the same district more than once
- children must return to their home district for the reaping and any other capitol-sanctioned events
- possibly more to come
- post here using the following code to keep any confusion from happening![code*][b]character name (District X)[/b] is played by [i]your name[/i]. They are going to [b]District Y[/b][*/code]
