SSIS GIN SAIGON 2014
We would like to invite you to the 3rd Annual GIN Conference 2014, hosted by Saigon South International School. This year’s conference will take place on March 7 - 9, beginning at 4:30 PM on the 7th and finishing at 1:00 PM on the 9th. This year’s theme is “Empowering YOUth,” with a focus on inspiring action.
The goal of GIN Saigon is to bring students from both local and international schools together to discuss solutions for global issues occurring both in our local Saigon community and throughout the world. In essence, it is our hope to inspire students to collaborate in finding solutions to current problems facing the world.
The students at SSIS are working to put together an amazing program filled with keynote speakers, student led workshops and activities. The conference structure will follow a similar structure to previous local and regional GIN conferences. Throughout the weekend, students will have the opportunity to engage with, and respond to, issues that the world faces today. Students will also gain more knowledge about global issues, collaborate with other students from across Ho Chi Minh City, establish an increased global awareness and respond to the needs of our local community.
The unique feature of this conference is student voice, as this is a conference organized by students, for students. Students will have the opportunity to share and learn from one another about actions they are taking towards environmental or humanitarian issues in their own school communities. Additionally, representatives from local Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) will be invited to share knowledge and understanding about issues affecting local communities and projects that students may wish to support.
