The future of Vermont depends upon the world beyond our borders. The Vermont Council on World Affairs, in cooperation with the public and private sectors, promotes an awareness and understanding of the world and its people through public forums, hosting international visitors and working with our educational institutions to develop programs for students, faculty, staff and community. The VCWA gratefully acknowledges support from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Global Ties U.S., the Open World Program of the United States Congress, IREX, World Learning, Meridian International Center, Georgetown University’s Center for Intercultural Education and Development (CIED) and our numerous other local, national, and global partners that help make our work possible.
