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

This year’s event will take place from Feb. 12 to 16, 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/IFest2017-18. For questions or more information, contact Ashley Halsten at ahalsten@jachicago.org or Mia Fromknecht at mfromknecht@jachicago.org.

The week will culminate with the International Dance Show on Feb. 16. That event will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature dances that represent a variety of countries/cultures. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s show will be donated to UNICEF. According to https://www.unicef.org, “UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child. UNICEF has spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Defending children's rights throughout their lives requires a global presence, aiming to produce results and understand their effects. UNICEF believes all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world.”
