2022 "Hidden No More" Women in STEM Leaders with Pinellas Technical High School students and faculty!
Welcome to the World Partnerships Gazette!
The Gazette brings you stories of our 6,200+ professional and educational exchange alumni from 194 countries over the past 22 years – and in the years to come. You will see and hear the impact our community has had on their lives, their work, and their countries. We also hope you will see the impact many of them have had on our Tampa Bay community through volunteer activities, continuing professional and personal ties, and serving as “global ambassadors.”
Nearly every day for over two decades, World Partnerships has created and nurtured a global eco-system of business and political leaders, journalists, women leaders, educators, community organizers, policy officials, environmental activists and young entrepreneurs, all engaged in creating a more peaceful, open, and connected world. These are the “partnerships” of World Partnerships.
More often than you may imagine, the hour and a half local leaders have spent with them in a professional discussion or an informal coffee conversation has changed perspectives, inspired new ideas, and launched initiatives.
For example:
The Gazette is our platform to broaden our outreach and deepen our engagement with a diverse audience throughout the Tampa Bay area, nationally, and around the globe. We hope you will take the time to learn more, and, if these stories have spoken to you, please forward our newsletter to a friend. Help us to tell the World Partnerships story, which is the story of our Tampa Bay community welcoming the new generation of global change-makers, who come as strangers, and leave as friends.
Stay tuned, and thank you for reading and for your support. Stay connected to the world via the World Partnerships Gazette!

- A delegation of elected officials from Kenya met with Tampa Bay Water, and took away a roadmap to solve their own regional water management challenges.
- From India, an environmental and education activist broke ground on a “sustainable youth educational farm”, inspired after meeting with the St. Pete Youth Farm at the Enoch Davis Center, and visiting the outdoor classrooms of Learning Gate Community School (Lutz).
- Leading journalists from Japan and Sierra Leone joining a World Partnerships/Poynter alumni virtual panel on the Covid-19 pandemic offered their perspectives covering past pandemics to 75 IVLP journalists around the world.
