The 2020 World Affairs Seminar theme is Hunger in a World of Plenty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s seminar will be offered virtually. We expect those who attend include delegates from over thirty nations. Each delegate will have her or his own story and perspective. By the end of the seminar, each delegate will know the stories of others and will have gained skills to help them shape the world they will inherit.
The 2020 virtual World Affairs Seminar will include:
- An international diplomacy exercise based on food chain issues;
- Virtual field trips to a variety of food production facilities;
- Engaging dialogue around the topics of:
- Food chains and food insecurity,
- Hunger at home and abroad,
- Rethinking world food production and distribution systems
- Keynote presentations from:
- Dr. Kelly Ottman, Milwaukee School of Engineering (Milwaukee, WI)
- Neal Patel , Amazon (Seattle, WA)
- Eilish Zembilci, Center for Strategic and International Studies (Washington, DC)
- Representatives from Rotary International
- …and more!
We thank you for your understanding and support.
Yours in Rotary Service,
