The World Affairs Council’s Global Classroom is thrilled to host the\u00a02021 World Citizen Essay Contest (WCEC) Awards Ceremony<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to honor this year’s nine essay contest winners, whose insight and inspiration illustrated just how important it is to ensure that youth have a seat at the table when working to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues.<\/p>\n

Each spring, the World Affairs Council hosts the WCEC<\/a> for third through twelfth graders. The goal of the contest is to promote discussion among students, teachers, families, and community members about the ways that individuals can effect positive change in the global community.\u00a0The contest lends the opportunity for students to engage in conversations about critical world issues with their peers, teachers, and families and allows them to gain confidence in expressing their thoughts in writing by submitting their work to a panel of community judges from both the business and education communities. Many teachers use the WCEC as a way to engage their students in real life global issues.<\/p>\n
