For 78 years, the World Affairs Council has been convinced that Americans need to understand a world that looks to them for leadership.  The Council's programs are designed primarily for Council members, students, teachers, and guests.  We have a wide range of programs that enable people from all walks of life to engage in the world around them.  From students to young professionals, top executives to new arrivals in our community, there is a program for you.  The diverse program formats are outlined on the left side of this page (in blue).  Please feel free to explore each page to learn more about each program type and which one meets your needs best.  

Our upcoming programs are always listed on the homepage of our web site, so we encourage you to visit that page for specific information about our programs.  Please note that reservations are required for most Council programs and we ask that you contact us directly if you have any questions. Please email or call 412-281-7970.

Olympic Happy Hour

On August 8, 2008, The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh celebrated the opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing as we watched the Opening Ceremony at Olive Or Twist in downtown Pittsburgh.  We enjoyed good fun, drinks, and friends as we mixed with the Global Pittsburgh Network and raffled off prizes to those who attended.

The Opening Ceremonies were on the Big Screen (as was the Steelers pre-season opener so that everyone would feel welcomed!) and it was a very successful networking event.

Thank you, again, for joining us!  We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
