ISC24 Update 5

Just a month till the conference starts!

Dear friends from all around the world!

The conference is just five weeks away: then we will be welcoming over 600 high school students from over 20 countries at the Goetheanum in Switzerland!

In this newsletter, we are happy to share some words from Yecu Barnech, who will contribute on the Saturday of the conference.
His interview is part of the third episode of the podcast series that is being produced just for our conference, and released every Monday.
So stay tuned and listen in to hear what will be shared today...

We're sharing some words about the program of the conference, so that you can orient yourselves as well as see how the process for creating the program was shaped.

Our last newsletter mainly focused on the financial picture of the conference.
Since then, we were very grateful to receive some confirmations for funding, yet our fundraising efforts are not over yet!
We still have a gap of CHF 75.000 to fill, and by spreading the word to your school, local businesses, share about the conference with your family - you can help us to get the needed funds!

With warmth from the Goetheanum,
the organizing team of the ISC24

About the program of the ISC24: an overview

Switzerland might not be considered as the ideal place to host an accessible international conference for young people. However, there is a great significance in the space where we host this conference: at the Goetheanum, an important place for the General Anthroposophical Society, the School for Spiritual Science as well as the Waldorf movement. The costs that come with a conference like this consist of lodging, food and the conference organisation (this includes things like contributors, team meetings, transportations, workshop material, the list goes on). And then we are not putting one big gift into the budget: the wonderful spaces where we will host our conference, the Goetheanum campus. In total, the real costs come to 550 – 600 CHF per participant for the conference. We are asking a financial contribution of 275 CHF and are also offering financial support. To make this conference possible for everyone, we had the goal fundraising about 185.000 CHF.

We have gone through an intense grant writing phase, and are still about
Now onto the next step: a small fundraiser! In this spirit, we would like to make an appeal to the schools’ networks, family members and friends to support young people to come together despite these difficult times we live in. We would be very grateful for your support and will to help young people find their way to the Goetheanum!
