 The World Affairs Seminar is a unique
interactive educational program for high school students held at
Carroll University in Waukesha, and sponsored by Rotary District 6270
(southeastern Wisconsin and Fox Cities regions). The week-long
experience provides an opportunity for international students from a
variety of backgrounds to discuss issues in a non-threatening
environment. They experience new and different ideas and viewpoints
brought forward both by their colleagues and by world renowned experts.
In small and large groups students discuss information and ideas and put
their new knowledge to use. Through public policy simulations they work
through the complex interactions of different countries, corporations
and organizations to develop their own policy initiative.
The
university setting provides a college-like experience, including use of
the residence halls and campus dining. Throughout the week students
have time for recreational activities which bring greater awareness and
understanding of the world around them. Critical thinking, negotiation
skills and the process of learning about new friends from around the
world are all part of this incredible experience.
