World Affairs Councils of America:
Sign this petition if you support -- Educating the Next Generation of Global Citizens
The nationwide system of almost 100 World Affairs Councils has committed to educating American youth in the skills and knowledge needed to live, work and thrive in a complex and increasingly inter-connected global community.
American students are lacking in basic knowledge of world history, international geography and global issues. Failure to address these needs will result in negative consequences for America's national security and economic well-being and will lead to a citizenry ill equipped to take their place as leaders in the international workplace and as problem-solvers on the international stage. Our nation's future depends on a more globally minded and prepared "next generation."
