As we mentioned recently, the Council is planning a large-scale student program in recognition of Pittsburgh’s upcoming G20 Summit. The G-20 Student Summit will be held at Fox Chapel High School, which is located just northeast of the city of Pittsburgh.

The Fox Chapel Area School District is a nationally recognized, award-winning school district that produces high achievement in students, with a motivated and professional faculty and an involved and caring administration. The district currently operates six schools and has approximately 4,400 students. Just one of the many fantastic school districts with whom we work! :)

Here is an article about the upcoming summit, from yourfoxchapel.com. We’re looking forward to collaborating with all of the students, teachers, and staff at Fox Chapel High School!

Stay tuned for more details. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh!

>Pittsburgh to host the Next G-20 Summit

We were excited to learn yesterday that Pittsburgh would be the host of the next G-20 economic summit (which will be held on September 24-25, 2009). The world’s attention will be focused on on our region as delegates from twenty of the world’s top economies meet at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, “White House officials expect delegations from 25 nations to attend… The U.S. delegation will have about 250 people, the United Kingdom’s delegation will have about 150 and the remaining groups each will have roughly 50, he said. About 2,000 members of the media are expected.”

While city officials are beginning to sort out the logistics and security necessary for a meeting of this caliber, the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh is also planning. The Council will likely host at least one “Summit Preview” program for adults in the community, and one “large-scale” school program about the G-20 in mid-September. Stay tuned for details!!
