The 2023 Summer Global Leadership Seminar  has now concluded.  Thank you to all of our incredible students for their participation in this year's program.  For more information about the Summer Global Leadership Seminar, please contact Geoffrey Quinn, Director of Education for High School Programs at gquinn@wacphila.org or at 215-461-4700, ext 207.

The 2023 Summer Global Leadership Seminar is a weeklong program bringing together a group of diverse and highly-motivated regional high school students for an intensive summer learning experience with the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. Through this program, students take a deep dive into a topic of international significance, exploring this topic through a diverse array of expert-led workshops, discussion, and debate.  This weeklong program will explore different approaches to the topic at hand, teach student key skills to understand core  concepts, and delve into global relations and our connected world.  While the program will have an international focus, learned concepts will be directly applicable to community development and civic responsibility on a local and personal level.
