International Education Summit 2022

The International Education Summit (IES) is an annual program designed by the World Affairs Council of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky with the goal to raise high school students’ awareness around ongoing global topics and global careers.

We are offering interactive, informative workshops for students to engage with local educators, community partners, business leaders, etc. related to the theme selected by previous participants.  We also offer a Speed Networking opportunity for students to meet local professionals with international experience.

The diversity of the event and content was quite remarkable. More importantly the engagement of the attendees really spoke to the idea of embracing diversity and making community and business leaders realize how important it is to focus on inclusion rather than exclusion in interactions both professional and personal. It was such an interesting group of people that attended the event. The organization stands for everything that is right with Cincinnati and its goals moving forward. It was a pleasure to attend.”
