An initiative of the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, this weekly digest of thought-provoking pieces from respected global sources has become very popular with the Pittsburgh Council's members, as well as colleagues across our network, since its launch over 18 months ago. We believe that all 92 World Affairs Councils will find value in this free weekly service.  

Weekly World News Update can be useful in many ways: It can help frame topics for Council events; serve as a source for prospective speakers; engage members and supporters with timely, high-quality content and diverse perspectives; generate interactive discussions of the topics using social media; and, support educational outreach in schools. It can also deepen your own knowledge - after all, we are curious life-long learners.

In forwarding this to your subscribers, we encourage you to retain our banner (and make sure the hyperlinks work). Otherwise, in your e-blasts and on your Web sites, please be sure to properly credit the World Affairs Councils of Pittsburgh and the WACA National Office if you publish Weekly World News Update.

Thank you and be sure to share your great ideas that can benefit World Affairs Councils across the country!
