Hawaii's high school students are invited to join PAAC at our statewide conferences on important global issues such as economic development and environmental protection, the Arab-Israeli conflict, displacement of people, and foreign aid. Two conferences are held each year. PAAC is also developing a career explorations program as a part of the conferences.
PAAC also puts on an annual team based Academic WorldQuest competition, at which students participate in six rounds of challenging questions on international topics.
A 14 week after school class in global studies and technology is offered in selected public high schools
each semester. Students study global issues and initiate and carry out a global action project in their neighborhoods.
Anyone who is interested in our conferences is welcome to sign up for the event and join in on on-line discussions.
Aloha
