The U.S. Embassy in Santiago launched a Facebook page to provide information about academic opportunities and programs for American and Chilean students (high school and college levels). Because of its interactive tools, the new Facebook page also seeks to encourage the creation of user communities between Chilean and U.S. students.

More than 2500 American youngsters travel to Chile each year to study. Likewise, numerous Chilean students participate in U.S. educational and cultural exchange programs each year. Most of these students use social media such as Facebook to keep up to date with their friends activities, exchange ideas and opinions to promote their activities and interests. The new page is also a bridge between the Embassy and its young audience.

Initially, the Facebook page will only be available in English and will also include information about programs, events, publications and contests of interest to its young audience. The users will also find information about visa procedures and will also be able to post questions about their concerns.
