World Affairs

World Affairs is an independent, nonpartisan forum for exploring issues and opportunities that transcend borders. By convening over 150 programs, World Affairs engages thought leaders, change makers, and citizens to share ideas, learn from each other, and engage in conversations of public concern on global issues. Through these and other programs, in addition to on-air and online multimedia offerings, World Affairs provides the public and the community that it serves with the knowledge and networks they need to be better informed in their choices and actions that relate to global issues and international affairs. World Affairs benefits from a network of chapters throughout the Bay Area including in Contra Costa County, Marin County, the Peninsula, and Sacramento. These volunteer-run chapters offer programs bringing global issues to the attention of local communities.
