The+World+Affairs+Council



This year our gifted students in grade 5, 6, 7, and 8 will be participating in The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh's Student Ambassador Program. We will participate in an International Speaker visit during the month of April. During this visit the speaker will discuss his or her country and culture and engage students in cultural activities. Previous presentations have included music, dance, art, language, and stories from around the world. The Student Ambassador Conference is the culminating event for the program and serves as a reward for Student Ambassadors. It will take place on **Tuesday, May 3, 2012** from **9:00-11:30 a.m.** at the **University of Pittsburgh.** At the Conference, students will see a performance, hear from a keynote speaker, and have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions with international speakers who will engage students in a cultural learning exercise or activity. Following the Conference, Student Ambassadors and teachers will take a guided tour of the Nationality Rooms.
