The World Affairs Challenge (WAC) is an academic program and
competition on international affairs for students in grades
6-12. The WAC stresses research, teamwork, presentation and
problem solving and allows students to share their
perspectives on a global theme with volunteer judges from
the community. Teams of 7-12 middle and high school students
prepare after-school or during school hours for the
culminating competition, the Challenge, which consists of
four dynamic events.
The World Affairs Challenge is hosted by World Savvy, a
global education nonprofit, serving youth and educators in
Minnesota, New York, and Northern California. Since 2002,
World Savvy has served more than 6000 youth and 700
educators and is excited to bring our programs here to the
Twin Cities this year!
Come find out how to get your students involved in this
exciting program!
Refreshments will be provided.
