The World Affairs Council believes that awareness of the world must begin early in students' education. The education outreach has developed the World Cultures Initiative, a program for 6th-grade World Cultures students and teachers.
| Global Ambassadors |
This series brings university students to 6th-12th grade classrooms to speak about their experiences studying abroad. Its goal is to expand students' knowledge of world cultures through a first-person presentation. |
| World Cultures Summit |
This is an exciting and interactive three-hour event that brings world cultures alive for 6th graders. Students have an international adventure by visiting exhibit booths and traveling "Around the World in 80 minutes" in a fact-finding scavenger hunt. |
| WorldQuest Jr. |
|
This is the middle school version of our popular Academic WorldQuest. A fun, fast-paced, quiz on world cultures that puts world affairs knowledge to the test. Questions will focus on world cultures and the game will reinforce the 6th-grade World Cultures curriculum. |
