World Affairs Institute

For 54 years, the World Affairs Institute has engaged leaders in deep discussions of key issues in international affairs to help them develop the skills to understand and think critically about their world.

This year’s World Affairs Institute: Becoming a Global City: Pittsburgh’s Role in the World will have two tracks: 

 

  • – World Affairs Institute for Youth Changemakers
  • – World Affairs Institute for Changemakers Across Sectors (previously known as our annual Summit)

 

Attendees will come together for an opening performance and plenary session. Then, we’ll break off into separate workshops and sessions, before coming back together to close out the day. 

Learn about the Institute.

Soiree

Our annual Soiree fundraiser is a vibrant and dynamic celebration of global learning and connection, when we bring our mission to life by bringing together Pittsburghers of all ages and identities.

Last year, we’re celebrating the multifaceted harmony that results when people of all different backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences draw on their unique cultures – their food, language, rituals, and especially music – to create something layered and new.

 

Thank you to all of friends, supporters and sponsors who joined us at our 3rd Annual Soiree! View the album here.
