International Education Summit - Peace & Justice
WHAT IS IES?
The World Affairs Council – Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky hosts the annual high school event, International Education Summit (IES) each year during International Education Week (November 16-20, 2020). IES raises student awareness about global issues and global careers. Students and teachers will hear from a diverse group of speakers representing governmental, community, business, and nonprofit organizations on this year’s theme of “Peace and Justice”. They will also interact in small groups with local global professionals for a “Speed Networking” session where they can learn about global careers.
2020 IES | PEACE AND JUSTICE
This year, we are hosting a virtual International Education Summit on “Peace and Justice”. It will be held during International Education Week (November 16-20). We are expanding to a week-long program and will be working with regional World Affairs Councils in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana to enrich our programming and expand the number of students, teachers, council members, and global citizens we reach.
