I am also humbled by the scale and implications of what we are involved in, because I am quite serious when I say that this is probably the most important event that any of us will attend this year. Whether we are students, teachers, administrators or guests, attending a GIN event brings with it a responsibility that no other conference or activity conveys. The goals of GIN have always been ambitious as they are nothing less than making an impact to change our world for the better. From the outset they have been characterised by a sense of urgency, illustrated in the writings of Jean Francois Richard such as “20 Global Problems: 20 Years to Solve Them”. Richard was convinced that we can’t delegate responsibility for addressing these problems to governments and international agencies alone, not because we can’t trust their intentions but because the rate of change in the twenty-first century is faster than these traditional entities can react to. The imperative of GIN has always been that we have to take the responsibility ourselves, and to use our own networks at local and global levels to leverage the changes we want to see in hearts, minds and action. And nobody is better placed to take up this challenge than the young people in our schools, those who have access to some of the most sophisticated networks and interest groups across the globe and who care most about addressing the problems because the quality of life in the future depends on it. Well over three hundred participants come together this weekend and I hope that you all enjoy a truly memorable time in Milan. I may have spoken about challenges and responsibilities, but working together on exciting projects can also be a really stimulating and, why not, even fun. I am truly honoured that my school can play a small part in this process but it is you who will make a difference and I hope you return to your homes and schools next week with a renewed sense of what you can achieve if you work together and really put your minds to it. Malala Yousafzai, the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has said that “when the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful”. Your voices are what matter now, and I hope that taking part in this GIN event helps you to put your voices together to make sure that they are heard.

Hiccup Circus Uganda (HCU) is a Child Protection Project tailored for students, children living in refugee camps, orphans and Kampala slums youth. It provides psychosocial support to children whilst simultaneously building and enhancing their life skills helping them make informed decisions and communicate effectively. HCU is a cultural, educational, entertaining and participative itinerant social circus without animals, performed by youth for children. The aims of the project are to introduce circus arts and make available an informal, flexible and creative teaching/learning instrument, targeted to specific needs in order to allow children to develop motivation, safety and efficiency. HCU performances and training is a medium for providing incentives and arming children with every available weapon for their defense in the face of potential harm. HCU is committed to fostering respect for diversity, non-violence and social inclusion, allowing youth to reach and release their full potential in the world and become means of behavioral changes and positive role models into their families and communities. HCU does not simply believe in the rights of people; they believe in the rights of children. Children are fundamentally entitled to quality education that respects their dignity and expands their abilities to live. This beacon guides HCU through the fight against ignorance and struggle for morality. HCU has two components: the Circus Show, which goes to schools, orphanages, refugee camps and youth centers and performs for free, and the Kasikonda Youth Circus School, which trains Kampala slums youth in circus arts, who then perform in pediatric wards at local hospitals.

He now works at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine as a scientific researcher into a malarial reduction programme, spending months in Africa on field work. Dr Sammy is still with A-CET now as a Trustee (Director). He visits A-CET’s schloarship students and school projects regularly - where he is a role model to all. Sammy will be speaking on behalf of A-CET, an organization that works to educate and support vulnerable young Africans, principally Ethiopians, giving them hope, higher aspirations and selfconfidence to achieve their potential through education. A-CET believes in actions not words, bringing lasting sustainable educational development. Working in partnership with Education authorities and communities, A-CET, through Ethiopian Youth Educational Support (EYES), is supporting hundreds of vulnerable youngsters with long-term scholarships plus building and furnishing village-based elementary schools, providing free education. With dignity and sympathy, all locally selected scholarship students are assisted from kindergarten through to higher education and into gainful employment or selfemployment. A-CET has so far built nine schools with one more underway, serving over five thousand children. Learn more about Sammy’s experience and A-CET at: A-CET.ORG 12 DEEPAK ASHWANI Deepak Ashwani is the Founder of Dazin (Fuel Cookies & Gasifying Stove solution for cooking energy). Believing that the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others, Deepak was driven to make an impact on humanity and environment and dreams to see an altruistic world. After resigning from his comfortable job in 2010 without any source of income ahead, Deepak started living outside his comfort zone yet again and decided to leave the technical field and do something meaningful. Did you know that smoke from open fire cooking causes 8 deaths every minute globally, which is more than AIDS and malaria combined? 21% of Global Black Carbon emissions is attributed to cook stove smoke. Dazin provides a circular economy based solution of free fuel cookies and free smokeless stoves in exchange to those rural households supplying free forestry wood waste. This waste is densified into fuel cookies in a local factory. Due to the efficiency of its Fuel + Stove system, Dazin produces an excess of fuel cookies compared to the wood waste provided. These surplus fuel cookies are sold in cities to offset the free services in rural areas and expand impact to new areas. After completion of a Bachelor’s degree from Puniab Technical University (India), Deepak obtained a first Masters in Air Pollution and Environmental Studies from the University of Aveiro (Portugal) in 2011 and a second Masters in Environmental Management and Sustainability Science from Aalborg University (Denmark) in 2012. His awards, amongst others, include winning the Ben & Jerry’s Join Our Core, SIDA Innovation Against Poverty Grant & Develop Prize (2013) and the Entrepreneurship in Denmark Competition for both Jury and Audience Award (2012). Deepak was also selected as a “StartingBloc Social Innovation Institute Fellow” for Los Angeles, California, USA in 2012.

When he was 12, Joe Madiath unionized young workers to fight for better work conditions. They were employed by... his own father. He was therefore sent away to a boarding school. After his studies, travels across India, and participating in relief work afer a devastating cyclone, in 1979 he founded Gram Vikas. The name translates to “village development” in both Hindi and Oriya, the language of the state of Orissa, where the organization is primarily active. The bulk of Gram Vikas’ efforts are on water and sanitation. The organization’s approach is based on partnership with villagers and gender equity. In order to benefit from Gram Vikas’ support to install water and sanitation systems, the entire village community needs to commit to participate in the planning, construction and maintenance, and all villagers, regardless of social, economic or caste status, will have access to the same facilities. This requirement of 100 percent participation is difficult, Madiath acknowledges, but it leads to socially equitable and long-term solutions. Gram Vikas has already reached over 1,200 communities and over 400,000 people. Learn more about Joe Madiath and Gram Vikas at: GRAMVIKAS.ORG KATE OTTO Kate Otto is the Founder and Executive Director of Every Day Ambassador, as well as the author of the forthcoming book Everyday Ambassador: Creating Connections that Last in a Digitally Distracted World.

Kate graduated from New York University with a BA in International Relations and a MPA in Health Policy and Management. She is now pursuing her MD at the NYU School of Medicine. She is a proud Reynolds Scholar in Social Entrepreneurship, Starting Bloc Fellow, Truman Scholar, Luce Scholar and member of the Academy of Achievement. ”Kate is the ultimate example of how someone can mobilize the spirit, the heart and a true love for mankind to become an Every Day Ambassador. #WeAreHere for each other and we all have a role to play in building a more peaceful world for future generations, and [her] book shows us how to act in order to build a better future.” - Alicia Keys; Artist/Activist Learn more about Kate Otto and Every Day Ambassador at: EVERYDAYAMBASSADOR.ORG 13 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION PERSONAL NOTES ENERGY and “ persistence conquer all things.” –benjamin franklin 14 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION ACTION PLAN WRITING putting ideas into action 1.

In a continent -and a country- where too often children are left stranded without basic needs and rights resulting in daily situations of insecurity and distrust between families and communities, it just might be that a circus can make a difference! FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 DIFFERENCE BRINGS ENERGY C1 ISTEK PRIVATE ACIBADEM HIGH SCHOOL MINE EZGI KARAKAS, ZIYA TATAR, CENK ERALP, ARZU ALGUR, ALARA CERMAN Everything we do is connected to energy in one form or another. There are many sources of energy but the question is whether we can produce the energy we need without causing harm to nature. We have an answer to that question and will talk about a whole new system to produce energy. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 EDUCATION FOR ALL - THE PLIGHT OF CHILDREN IN SIERRA LEONE C2 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF GENEVA-LGB ESIN ONAL, BENJAMIN DIKINSON In working with Education for All, we help providing primary and secondary school education in rural villages of Sierra Leone, particularly the Masantigie region. You will hear about their campaigns and the ways in which they fund raise to directly provide schooling, as well as about their current efforts to ameliorate the horrific suffering caused by Ebola. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 DIGITAL DIVIDE: EMPOWERING AND EDUCATING LEDCs C3 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF DÜSSELDORF BAILEY BAUMBICK, RONI FASS, LAUREN OLOSKY, TAYLOR UFFORD 98% of all illiterates live in developing countries. We have created an action plan on how the world can shrink the “digital divide” by increasing literacy rates. In groups, we’ll try to sell long and shortterm solutions to combat illiteracy, in front of a panel of investors. The target is to understand a few ways in which we can shatter the illiteracy barriers that prevent social and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 BACK TO BOPHAL: JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF TOXIC GAS LEAK C4 ZURICH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL EILIS DOOLAN, ANJA DOOLAN, CLAIRE COLE Thirty years ago, between 7,000 and 10,000 people died within three days of a toxic gas leak in Bhopal, central India. Many survivors still suffer serious long-term health problems due to the effects of gas exposure – particularly women. What’s more, contamination from chemicals left at the abandoned factory site continues to a pose a serious health risk for the local community. We will investigate the horrific event and what must be done to demand justice for the victims of this corporate chemical pollution disaster. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 INNOVATIVE CAMPAIGN TO HELP SYRIAN REFUGEES C5 AMERICAN SCHOOL OF DUBAI CLARA HARTER, ADAM AKKAD, SORAYA MANA’EESH, CHLOE AGNELLO GIN Dubai rolled out an innovative awareness campaign this year, which entailed students acting as human posters, essentially assuming the role of refugees in order to raise awareness for those impacted by the war in the Middle East. Enlisting school-wide awareness through media and regional passions to propel community collaboration, our GIN group funded an emergency appeal to aid Syrian refugees caught in extreme winter conditions. 17 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION PRESENTATION SESSIONS PRESENTATIONS SESSION 1 FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 WHO IS THE REAL ANIMAL? C6 SOUTHBANK INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL GAETANE BORY, SONIA ROYTMAN, JENI BAYKOCA, JP RIDER-WILHELMSEN Don’t worry, we are not trying to turn you into a vegetarian, we are just sick of watching animals suffer. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN-damental RIGHTS C7 AMERICAN OVERSEAS SCHOOL OF ROME JESULAYOMI AKINNIFESI, VANESSA SIPPLE-ASHER, SOPHIA MANSAGER, ANNA COOK We live in a world where the access to education is given based on gender. The GIN at American Overseas School of Rome has decided to tackle the issue of inequality in women’s education. We work with the Cookstove Project (supported by the United Nations) in an attempt to give girls all over the world the opportunity to attend school. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 STUCK IN TRAFFIC - THE NO PROJECT D1 COSTEAS-GEITONAS SCHOOL ALEXANDROS KYRKITSOS, ALEXANDRA VOLTEA, ISIDOROS PAPACHRISTOU, DIONYSIOS TOURIS Human trafficking is everywhere. It’s not an exotic plight of a remote country. It’s a couple of clicks away on your home computer, right here in every country’s heartland. You’ve probably seen it but you have not realized what it was and looked away. Let’s take together the journey of the big “WHATs”, “WHYs” and “HOWs” of human trafficking, so, next time we see it, we can recognize it and know what to do about it. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OR REFUGEES? D2 SCHOOL YEAR ABROAD, FRANCE/ITALY KAILEY KIRKWOOD, HALEY BUCHAN, NIKOLAI YUDIN, ARIANA LEE The EU is now faced with the challenge of differentiating between those fleeing from countries with dangerous living environments and those simply coming to Europe for various economic reasons. This issue affects some points of entry- Lampedusa in Italy- and some points of exit-Calais in France and it is detrimental to the EU as a whole. Our project attempts to evaluate solutions for the EU, especially France and Italy, without jeopardizing the safety of those in need. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 PAPER WASTE - IT’S NOT ONLY THE PAPER WE WASTE, IT’S OUR FUTURE! D3 SISLI TERAKKI FOUNDATION SCHOOLS, ISTANBUL TUNA GÜMELI, ELIFSU BIRINCIOĞLU, İDIL CIZRELIOĞLU The paper we waste each year can make a 12-foot high wall from New York to California. We use paper like air in our lives and this is killing the nature and also our future. Imagine your grandkids as kids who don’t know what a forest is. Imagine them growing up without the color green. There are solutions but people recklessly continue wasting paper. We would not like to show ourselves as daydreamers, but visionaries, we’d like to take action. So while we can, why wouldn’t we solve it? FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 INNOVATIVE WAYS TO FIGHT THE LAZINESS PLAGUE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF STUTTGART LILIAN TU, BENJAMIN LILLY, HENRIK POLZER Laziness, sloth, and indifference plague every school-based project, regardless of school or country. Global issues projects have always had to desperately search for student attention. We have examined the management of projects, and have come up with viable methods to get motivated groups of people involved in solving the issues, from nerd to jock, parent to teacher. 18 D4 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION PRESENTATION SESSIONS PRESENTATIONS SESSION 1 FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 WORKING WITH THE FOOD BANK D5 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF THE HAGUE ELLA OUDHOF, ALICIA HUSSELIN, BASIA ZUBOWSKA You might imagine that in countries as developed as Holland the number of people needing a local food bank would be limited. This is not the case. In The Hague 2,400 households get food donated to the food bank each week; over 30,000 in the whole country. This year our school took part in a food drive and collected over 25 crates and plan to do it every 2 months. It was a great way to bring our school together while working for a good cause. Some students now volunteer at the food bank itself every week also. FRIDAY 10.00-10.45 I’M NOT YOURS TO SELL D6 LYCÉE ALINE MAYRISCH LUXEMBOURG CELIA KIEFFER, MARA ARNOLDY, ZOÉ CLEES, SOPHIE BRACONNIER Every day in India hundreds of girls are sold into prostitution and slavery because their families face financial hardship. What makes you do that? What does it mean for your daughter or sister? We will try to answer those questions and see how projects between girls in India and Luxembourg have lead to the empowerment of hundreds of students on two continents. 19 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION PRESENTATION SESSIONS PRESENTATIONS SESSION 2 FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 STUDENTS IN SUPPORT OF SYRIAN ORPHANS C1 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF GENEVA-LGB OLIVIA LEI, ALEXIA DROULISCOS What is happening in Homs- we support an orphanage in this devastated town. How do we do that and how do we cultivate awareness? FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 HAPPINESS FEEDS THE PLANET C2 ST. GEORGE’S INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, LUXEMBOURG YESUN SHIN, ANNA MAHWINNEY, MARIE LAURE GOERES, ALANA DUNN Have you gone the extra SMILE today? Governments don’t see happiness as a global issue, they focus on fixing problems such as protests and poverty. We often forget that unhappiness is the source of these problems. Gross global happiness is defined as the three pillars of sustainable development; Social, economic and environmental well-being which are indivisible. JOYn us in our adventure to create positive energy to make a happier world. FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK C3 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF DÜSSELDORF GONZALO ECHANOVE, CHRISTOPH DROSTE, JIL CHEVAILLER, DALYA DROSTE Water is one of the resources that people in Europe take for granted. It is easy to quench your thirst or take a shower. Europeans never have to think “can I drink this; will it make me sick or i need to share I can’t use it all”. We have built an action plan on how to improve water availability and cleanliness in central Africa. Through a hands on activity you will learn how to build the life straw and understand how this could save lives. FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 TURNING PASSION INTO FUNDS FOR THE NEEDY C4 THÜRINGIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL - WEIMAR SARA TRIPON, ELLEN REGENHARDT, LEON LONZEN, MAX WOCHE Energy. Passion. Innovation: Our passion is children. Both locally and abroad. As an official partner of UNICEF we worked in close cooperation and invested a lot of energy to create new projects. Our school has a longterm commitment to the Born Again Orphanage in Kenya. Find out how to innovatively turn passion into funds! FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 CHILD MARRIAGE - MORE COMMON THAN WE THINK! C5 EYUBOGLU HIGH SCHOOL DILA BALCI, HEYMI DANNON, ERGIN EGE ENER, POYRAZ TURAN As our presentation topic we chose child marriage as it concerns both our country and the rest of the world. Children shouldn’t become parents/spouses in early ages of their lives and go under such burdens but they should just behave as kids. In our presentation we aim to mention the reasons behind child marriage and to discuss the outcomes and ways of handling this issue. FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 INSPIRE CHANGE WITH THE EARTH FOCUS ACADEMY C6 EARTH FOCUS FOUNDATION NICOLA SPAFFORD FUREY, ERIN CLEASBY Your experience and knowledge of sustainable development – LEARN, SHARE, ACT – Participate with your class or individually (CAS) to build online courses for global distribution, whilst interacting with young people worldwide. FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 THE TECHNOLOGICAL GAP BETWEEN MEDCs AND LEDCs INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF GENEVA - LA CHÂTAIGNERAIE NAOMI YOUNG, JAMES FRANCIS, LEENA FARHAT, DUNCAN BAIRD Our world’s MEDCs have taken technology to new levels and have incorporated it into the social aspect of their populations, while LEDCs have failed to follow as quikly as their developed counterparts. This technological disparity in terms of social, professional and educational areas is shocking. How has this gap evolved? How important is technology in our daily lives? 20 C7 TACKLING GLOBAL ISSUES u ENERGY, PASSION AND INNOVATION PRESENTATION SESSIONS PRESENTATIONS SESSION 2 FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 HOME AND AWAY: THE REFUGEE CRISIS EXPLORED AND EXPLAINED! D1 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF BREMEN CHRISTOPHER KOEHNE, APOORVA SOM, JOHANNES KRAUSE, BABU BITTAYE The presentation will detail the work of the group in support of refugee transit centres in Bremen. We will also outline how we continue to maintain an active interest in the world wide refugee crisis by running fund raising events in aid of displaced people such as the Syrian refugees. FRIDAY 11.00-11.45 GROWING UP GREEN D2 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF AMSTERDAM PB BALAKRISHNAN, LUCA MUSTERT, JORGE SOBRINO How can a “Green Team” club keep their sustainability efforts appealing to students over successive years?
