WorldBoston was founded in 1961 as the Boston Center for International Visitors, a nonprofit organization with a mission to connect hundreds of emerging leaders from around the globe each year with their counterparts in Greater Boston's business, government, academic, cultural and scientific communities. In 2002, the organization merged with the World Affairs Council of Boston, a nonpartisan forum founded in 1949 to engage the public in discussions about critical international issues. WorldBoston today is an active independent member of both the National Council for International Visitors and the World Affairs Councils of America, and a dynamic and respected community leader in Boston.s global network. With its expertise in fostering international exchanges and unique mix of educational programs, WorldBoston continues to build on its distinguished tradition of promoting dialogue among leaders, cross-cultural connections and public learning.

  • Great Decisions Series: Israel-United States Relations

    Tue, Apr 8, 2014
    Throughout decades of conflict in the Middle East, the U.S. has provided unparalleled military and diplomatic support to Israel due to the two countries' shared interests and values. Yet these ties are being tested, as stalled peace talks and Iran's nuclear ambitions have put new strains on relations between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. How have common cultural values influenced the countries' 65-year-old "special relationship"? How is the U.S. balancing this commitment with its many interests in the region?

  • Media Coverage and the War in Iraq

    Thu, Apr 10, 2003
    Leading media experts from print, radio, and television explore questions arising from the media's coverage of the war in Iraq. Journalists trained in military skills and embedded with our troops? Live broadcasts of bombings? Is the media working to be the ultimate informant, or is it simply providing us with a new form of "Reality TV?" Dr. James Walsh, director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University, moderates. This event was sponsored by WorldBoston, a non-profit, non-partisan, membership organization committed to engaging and informing Boston citizens through community dialogue, networking, and public education, in an effort to encourage their involvement in global issues.
