    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.

    Please RSVP to Charmagne Campbell-Patton, Program Manager,
    at 763-588-7440 or charmagne@worldsavvy.org to attend the
    October 7th Information Sessions or with questions.
