International Student Conferences
KASC January 14th, ChASC January 15th,  Deadline
ISC facilitates three academic and cultural exchange programs organized by university students in the U.S., Japan, Korea, and China. Our conferences distinguish themselves from other programs in that they are entirely student-led: students manage the logistics and implementation of each annual gathering. At the end of each Conference, delegates elect an Elective Committee tasked with planning and executing the next conference. 
As the official language of the Conference is English, no prior experience in Japanese/Korean/Chinese language or studies is required.


The Global Economic and Risk Outlook for 2026
Tuesday, January 13  6:00p.m.  Reception 5:30 p.m. - Parma Snow-Branch
The Cleveland Council on World Affairs is honored to host Michael Weidokal for the John A. Hellman Foreign Policy Forum.
The global economy has been battered by a series of crises in recent years, and 2026 appears likely to be another year of economic and geopolitical instability. The frequency of major world events and the ever-increasing pace of technological change has made it difficult to accurately assess the global economic situation. This uncertainty creates challenges for individuals and businesses around the globe, including here in Cleveland. To help make sense of the evolving economic environment, CCWA is joined by Michael Weidokal, Founder and Executive Director of International Strategic Analysis (ISA).
