WCC Overview
Global Issues such as poverty, food security, public health, inequality and environmental degradation are the product of global relations in which we as global citizens bear some responsibility. The World鈥檚 Challenge听Challenge听(WCC) 鈥� a global initiative of Western University encourages young minds from different disciplines to come together to address a global issue, offering solutions to implement in partnership with communities.
The WCC is an opportunity to bring together individuals with a broad worldview, seeking to study, influence and lead in the international community and to create global citizens who think creatively and critically, about significant issues that affect us all. It starts with one idea, one discussion.
A local WCC competition will take place at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 to determine which team will represent Dal at the WCC Global Finals held at Western University June 7th-10th, 2023.听听outlines the details of the global competition.
