World Affairs

For nearly 60 years, World Affairs has been bringing timely programs to the greater Boston public on topics varying from international law and economic development, to terrorism, human rights and globalization.  World Affairs strives to educate, inform and foster understanding of international affairs; and to provide accessibility for the general public to participate in the discussion of global issues. This is achieved through lectures, panel discussions, trips, professional and business conferences and other unique opportunities.  WorldBoston is an affiliate of the World Affairs Councils of America and serves as the local council for the greater Boston area.
