Global Issues Network Conference 2009
The 2nd Annual Global Issues Network (GIN) Conference is being held right here at ISB this weekend. Beginning on Friday and ending on Sunday, the conference brings over 300 participants to ISB from all around Asia to talk about solutions to global issues.
Sponsored by EARCOS, the GIN Conference allows students to offer workshops describing the globally minded service that they are addressing at their own schools. Additionally, students here from keynote speakers on issues ranging from poverty to clean water and from animal protection to food distribution. One particular highlight will be an alumni panel at which past-ISB students will share some of the positive change they are making in the world with the projects and organizations with which they work.
Finally, students will develop school action plans to continue their work as they look to the future and making a difference.
The theme of this year’s conference - as selected by our own GIN club - is “WE CAN. WE WILL.” This speaks to the empowerment of young people and the committment to positive change that they share. The conference will be inspiring for so many as it highlights not only the problems that face our world, but also the young people who are committed to solving them.
Come have a look at the conference website and become a part of this focused network.
