Transatlantic Bridge Day - Greensburg



Building a Transatlantic Bridge is a dynamic, international partnership connecting students from two regions that share a common industrial past. City of Greensburg Mayor Karl Eisaman proclaimed May 27, 2010 as “Transatlantic Bridge Day.”
Program attendees learned about the creative ways The Westmoreland and the LVR-Industriemuseum in Oberhausen, Germany are bringing together students from both regions using technology with a focus on the art and industrial heritage of Pittsburgh and the Ruhr Valley.


The program featured: Anita Rometo, Community Liaison, Greensburg Salem School District, Katie Barnard, Director of Education and Visitor Services, City of Greensburg Mayor Karl Eisaman, and Kelley Audia, Greensburg Salem High School art teacher.
