Description
The United States’ relations with the Middle East are complex and ever-changing, making understanding the challenges facing the regions difficult to grasp. Indeed, surveys have shown that many Americans have little understanding of the nation’s role or status in the Middle East. The World Affairs Councils of America (WACA) is the largest nonpartisan network of nonprofits in the country dedicated to educating the American public on key global issues, including challenges in the Middle East. With Corporation support, WACA will produce a speaker series at partner organizations around the country to educate the public about U.S. policy in the Middle East region. WACA aims to use these forums to help “lower the temperature” and “let light in” in order to provide Americans with balanced information about a confusing and highly politicized topic.
