2009 World Affairs Challenge™ - Opening Ceremony

At this year’s Opening Ceremony, we hosted 1,000 people! We were honored to present Katy Foster, Assistant Principal at Phillip and Sala Burton Academic High School in San Francisco with the 2nd annual Global Educators Award. Last year’s recipient of the award, Dean Jacob Perea of San Francisco State University’s College of Education presented Ms. Foster with the award. We were thrilled to have our Keynote Speaker, Lisa Frydman of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, share her knowledge and insights on the theme of Human Migration. The Opening Ceremony was a great way to kick of the 2009 World Affairs Challenge!

2009 World Affairs Challenge™ - Discovery Poster

The Discovery Poster is a fun and creative part of the World Affairs Challenge. Although it is optional, many participating schools entered a poster in this year’s competition. The posters were both visually appealing and quite informative. They are a great opportunity for teams to recap their Formal Presentation and show off all the hard work they have put into the World Affairs Challenge!

2009 World Affairs Challenge™ - Formal Presentation

The Formal Presentation is the biggest and most popular component of the World Affairs Challenge. Every team participates in this event, presenting their research and solution to a panel of judges. Students get creative with the format they use to present so that it best highlights their information, skills, and talents. Look at the pictures below to see the many formats team chose, from song and dance to TV show to trial!

2009 World Affairs Challenge™ - Closing Ceremony

Awards were presented for a number of individual and team categories, finishing the day on a high note, with plenty of exuberance and satisfaction of a successful day all around!
