Defiance College, Defiance Rotary and Rotary District 6600 are pleased to announce details of the 29th annual World Community Workshop being held May 7-9, 2015 at Defiance College. This three-day workshop for high-school students is designed to help participants learn about the history, customs, economic and political issues of a selected region of the world. Students participate in small group discussions and experience hands-on activities. In addition, guest speakers share their stories about life in different countries.
The World Community Workshop is open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students should be in good academic standing and have a genuine interest in learning about different regions of the world. Local Rotary Clubs within District 6600 provide scholarships which covers the cost of attending the workshop. This year participants will explore and learn about the history and culture of Brazil, a vital political and cultural leader in South America and one of the most important economic powers in the world today.
Rotary clubs should consider sponsoring one or more students to attend this rich experience designed to promote Peace and Understanding.
