Minnesota International Center - A World Affairs Council

 

About WorldQuest

WorldQuest is an international quiz game played in teams of eight.  Revenue from this event supports MIC’s popular International Classroom Connection (ICC) program. WorldQuest is a trademarked flagship program of the World Affairs Councils of America, and is played by World Affairs Councils throughout the country.

Who Can Play?

This event is open to the public; anyone who knows about or wants to learn about world affairs and international issues is welcome to recruit a team of 8 players and give it a try.  Teams have been organized by schools, corporations, nonprofits, groups of friends and families.  It’s not about what you know, but what your team knows.

Next WorldQuest Competition

MIC has moved the date of WorldQuest  to the fall and it will be held on Friday, October 30, 2009.

Registration for this event is now closed.

 

MIC's 9th Annual WorldQuest  is sponsored by:  The Eagle and The Hawk Foundation; Ecolab, Inc, and General Mills, Inc.  The media sponsor is Minnesota Public Radio.
