Dear students, teachers, participants of previous ISC's, dear friends!
We warmly invite you all to the upcoming International Students' Conference from April 10 - 14, 2024 at the Goetheanum. After a fully digital ISC was hosted in 2021, it has been since 2019 that the Youth Section at the Goetheanum has hosted so many young people at the Goetheanum Campus. With this conference we want to invite 16 to 20 year-olds from all over the world to meet and live together for 5 days, to discuss some of the big questions of our time and to find a common impulse of the youth that may manifest itself here at the Goetheanum in Switzerland.
In March 2023 we had the first in-person team meeting for the ISC24 in Dornach. The theme of the conference crystalized itself throughout the weekend out of what was present in our lives and hearts: "Taking Heart - Finding our way together".
This theme should indicate the direction of the conference's content, not only to support you in finding your ways to our venue from everywhere, but also speak to the virtues of the heart, such as courage, love, trust, and hope, in our coming together.
We expect about 600 high school students, who may arrive with their school classes, in smaller groups from the same region or join the event individually. And beyond participation, you can get involved in the conference: workshops will again be a part of the program! And we set a high value on offering a diverse, international and exciting program. Therefore we would be very glad if you take the initiative and inform us if you can imagine to offer a workshop! More details you can find in this newsletter.
The experiences from previous ISC's since their launch in 2015, have taught us that the participants and all meaningful encounters will represent the heart of the meeting. The great diversity of places and journey's that each participant brings with them will make the ISC an unforgettable event for each and everyone of us.
Warmly,
the team of the ISC24 We kindly ask you to visit our website for more information. Updates on contributors, the conference program and registration start will also be shared through this newsletter! |
