The teenagers are from the United States, Canada, Holland, Sweden, Belgium, Britain, Italy, Switzerland, West Germany, Israel and the Dominican Republic.

The youngsters will work two weeks in laboratories and then tour the country to socialize with Israeli youth. They will also spend several days in the Negev studying the flora and fauna of the desert region.
