Windham World Affairs Council

Windham World Affairs Council is an independent, nonpartisan organization, based in Brattleboro, Vermont, United States. Our mission is to build community engagement, dialogue, and resilience by helping people better understand our world’s issues and problems. In this way, we hope to contribute to creating a livable, peaceful, better world in which we are better prepared to participate knowledgeably in public affairs and make informed choices in elections and our lives. We build community engagement, dialogue, and resilience by helping people understand complicated issues that manifest globally and locally. Through ongoing programs such as salons, workshops, and speaker series led by global experts, Nobel Peace laureates, and local leaders, we build intergenerational and cross-cultural social connections creating a more inclusive and engaging community. We are a chapter of the World Affairs Councils of America.
