Addison Trail and Junior Achievement of Chicago are looking for speakers to share with students their stories of traveling abroad for the school’s annual International Fest Week.

This year’s event will take place from Nov. 18 to 22, and speakers can present as many times as their schedule allows. The week provides an opportunity for students to learn about other countries and cultures, as presenters discuss their travels and experiences from throughout the world. Those who are interested in participating can sign up at www.dupage88.net/InternationalFest2019. For questions or more information, contact Madeline Earls with Junior Achievement at mearls@jachicago.com or 331-702-4399.

This year’s theme, “For Every Child,” focuses on protecting all children, supporting quality learning, providing lifesaving aid and creating innovative solutions that accelerate progress for children and young people. A portion of the proceeds from International Fest Week will go to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which shares that goal, as well as toward scholarships for Addison Trail students.

The week will culminate with the International Dance Show on Nov. 22, which will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature dances that represent a variety of countries and cultures.
