During this panel discussion, moderated by ABC NewsOne reporter Carla Wohl, three experts will deliver their point of view on environmental and energy policy, offering answers to such questions as "How do we reconcile the growing global demand for energy with the need for a healthy and sustainable environment?" and "How can richer nations help poorer nations develop economically and build their industries without encouraging environmentally-damaging practices?" Following the panel's remarks, the experts will engage the audience in a question and answer session.

Sadaa, "voice" or "echo" in Arabic/Persian/Urdu, presents 'Voices of Women,' an arts collective challenging stereotypical views about women from Muslim countries. Feeling the need to speak out, women artists from Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan and Palestine have come together to reveal the diversity of our cultures while saying 'enough' to the mass media which misrepresents them and the religious fundamentalists who expect them to obey in silence. The festival opening reception is on October 6th at Gallery 110 in Pioneer Square. The festival will feature a month long visual art exhibit, film screenings at the University of Washington, and several author readings.

December 1, 2003 Avrum Burg and Yasser Abed Rabbo, together with a group of Israeli and Palestinian civic leaders, negotiated and signed the Geneva Accord, an unofficial proposal that, if implemented would resolve some of the thorniest issues of the conflict and pave the way towards ending decades of bloodshed in the Middle East. Out of the concern generated by this issue, a coalition of individuals, business, religious and academic leaders in the Pacific Northwest have come together to sponsor this summit: "Finding Common Ground in the Middle East." Mr. Avrum Burg and Mr. Yasser Abed Rabbo will present an overview of the conflict and some alternative solutions.

Program: 8:00 pm
Location: Kane Hall Room 120, University of Washington campus
Cost: Free

Registration: First come, first seated

Lieutenant General Roméo A. Dallaire's courageous and humanitarian actions saved the lives of thousands of Rwandans in 1994, when he led the United Nations (UN) mission in Rwanda. Although he and his UN troops did not have the mandate to intervene in the genocide that occurred there, he did not freeze in the face of horror. Against political pressure to take sides in the conflict, Dallaire remained impartial, and his courage, compassion and integrity earned him one of Canada's most prestigious military honors, the Meritorious Service Cross. In January, he received the inaugural Aegis Award from the Beth Shalom Holocaust Centre in Great Britain. In the spring of 2000, Dallaire retired early from the military to become special advisor to the Canadian minister for international co-operation, tending to the plight of children in war-torn countries.

Registration: Call (206) 441-5910

As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict rages on, the Israeil government and Palestinian political representatives have reached a stalemate in negotiations for peace. Each side recriminates the other, and it often seems as if there is no solution. Oftentimes, what the outside world does not learn is what everyday life is like in such a grim situation, and what everyday people are doing to stay hopeful and work towards peace. Three women, Gila Svirsky, a Jewish Israeli; Hidaya Said Najmi, a Palestinian Muslim; and Marianne Albina, a Christian Palestinian, will sit together in order to discuss the possibility for peace in the Middle East. They are mothers, daughters, wives and working professionals and all involved in their own way in resolving the conflict. Through slide shows and testimonial, they will shed light on how the conflict impacts their everyday lives. And they will discuss what must be done, in their view, to improve today's grim situation in the Middle East.

Winner of the 2000 KCTS Golden Apple Award, the program reaches up to 60,000 students a year through professional development programs for teachers, world studies curriculum, and student leadership forums including an annual youth summit and the World Affairs Challenge.
- Supporting the International Visitor Program, 2001 Nobel Peace Prize Nominee. Under the auspices of the US Department of State, the International Visitor Program brings high-level professionals to the Puget Sound from all over the world to meet with their professional counterparts. The visitors, who are rising leaders in government, politics, media, education, arts, and other fields, are selected by US Embassies in over 150 countries around the globe.  The Council provides professional appointments, home hospitality and the opportunity for the sharing of cultures via school visits and public receptions. The Council designs professional programs in the Puget Sound for over 950 visitors each year.
- Supporting Community Programs. It is because of our members that the Council is able to bring the informed perspectives of international experts and renowned political figures to the Puget Sound. The World Affairs Council creates forums for discussion about international issues of critical importance that inform, educate, and involve the Washington community. These programs include lectures, forums, receptions, and discussion groups. These forums provide windows into current economic, social, cultural, and political trends in the international arena and generate a deeper understanding of today's ever-changing world.
