World Opportunities Week – October 22^nd – 25^th 2012

Presented by the World W.I.S.E. Resource Centre – International Centre for Students

World Opportunities Week (WOW) is designed to inspire and motivate students to become involved in their local and international communities. The three day event provides information on a variety of international opportunities from internships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academic exchanges, to volunteer opportunities right here in Winnipeg. Representatives from international organizations, NGOs, and U of M programs will be on campus to show students how they can become engaged in international activities. A host of special events promoting global citizenship and cultural awareness will also be taking place. WOW offers students variety within which they can find something that relates to them.
