Elementary School World Tour Conference
Operation Smile Student Programs is planning its 12th annual World Tour Conference. This
conference is specifically designed for 5th grade students located in the Hampton Roads area so
that they may engage in a unique learning experience outside of the classroom and gain a better
understanding of the world around them.
Operation Smile Student Programs empowers youth to create global movement for positive change
through our four pillars: Leadership, Education, Service, and Awareness. We count on caring
students, parents, and educators to bring smiles to children worldwide.
For 33 years, Operation Smile has been a driving force in providing students the opportunity to
learn about the world and how they can make a direct impact in the lives of children. Hundreds of
5th grade students from Hampton Roads have participated in the World Tour Conference. The
number of participants increases each year, and Operation Smile Student Programs would like to
continue the growth by incorporating additional schools at no cost to the students.
The event is characterized by dynamic presentations put on by Operation Smile staff and
volunteers. Some of these presentations will include high school students who recently participated
on an Operation Smile international medical mission. After an opening presentation from our
keynote speakers, the students will divide into small groups for presentations from Operation Smile
volunteers and staff members to learn more about specific countries around the world. They will
also partake in team games and other interactive learning experiences throughout the conference
day. Through these team building activities, students will experience the team work that is essential
for our medical teams on missions to be successful.
Every day the world grows closer and more interconnected. By starting young, we are bridging the
gaps to adopt an attitude of respect for all countries and all people regardless of the ethnic,
religious, or physical differences. We are encouraging these students to take ownership in helping
the world around them by participating in the Operation Smiles Shamrock Final Mile to help
support our cause. Past participants of the Final Mile are encouraged to attend wearing their Final
Mile t-shirts and medals.
We hope you will join us for the World Tour Conference on February 23rd, 2016. The event will be
held at Operation Smiles Global Headquarters at 3641 Faculty Boulevard in Virginia Beach,
Virginia.
We hope to see you in February!
