How can you help create, inspire, and empower a generation of globally conscientious citizens? Make a difference, meet new people, and learn about dating in other countries during a YPIN singles event in support of the World Affairs Council's Global Classroom program.
This will be YPIN's first attempt at playing match-maker for Seattle singles who are concerned about critical world issues. The night will take you on a whirlwind of 15 dates at the hip Del Rey in Belltown. Even if you don't find the perfect match, and we hope you do, you will be helping to bring international education and global awareness to our future leaders.
Please note that this is a speed dating event for singles only and pre-payment/ pre-registration are required to participate. Space is limited to 15 men and 15 women, so reserve your spot right away!
The Global Classroom program connects teachers and students with international resources, ideas, and people. Winner of the 2000 KCTS Golden Apple Award, the program reaches thousands of students through speaker programs and resources provided to Washington teachers. Through its professional development programs, the Council informs educators about world regions, cultures, and issues, provides access to people from the regions being discussed, and disseminates up-to-date curriculum that supports bringing these ideas into the classroom. The World Affairs Council also connects students with international people, ideas, and resources through Youth Summits and other leadership programs.
