2022 Summer Global Leadership Seminar

The 2022 Summer Global Leadership Seminar, entitled Global Development and International Aid, 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 week-long program will explore different approaches to international aid and development, teach students key financial literacy skills to understand core economic concepts, and delve into how aid shapes global relations and economies.

While the program will have an international focus, learned concepts will be directly applicable to community development and financial responsibility on a local and personal level.
