The 67th International Student Conference
  • May 15 - August 22, 2021

The International Student Conference, or ISC, is a student conference held annually in Japan among students from all around the world. Their mission is to do four things: discussion, action, resolution, and exchange. Firstly, for discussion, they gather to exchange our ideas about various global issues. This year, in ISC67, they have five table topics presented by five table chiefs, all related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Participants can choose one topic that they want to focus on, such as political activism, nuclear politics, and food security. Then, they will take those discussions into action by presenting the discussion outcome to the general public with the hope to contribute meaningfully to the world. By this, they also hope to resolve some of the world’s most difficult challenges while remaining original and in the process. Lastly, they also have an array of programs for their participants to exchange their cultures and share their experiences. Considering that they come from a diversity of backgrounds, there is so much that they can learn from each other.

This year’s theme is “New Normal: Unity without Boundaries”. Although the conference this year will be held online, they aspire to create a platform for discussion for youths worldwide, even during the hardest time.

Benefits

  • Research and discussions are the biggest features of the International Student Conference. During the advanced study sessions, participants are divided into 5 tables and all work together towards deepening their understanding of each of the assigned topics. Here, participants can deepen their understanding of the global issue that they are interested in.
  • At the main conference, participants come together to have discussions around the table topic of their selection. Each table consists of about 10 participants. All of the participants who gather at the conference have differing perspectives and backgrounds, so participants can be a part of deep and meaningful discussions.
  • At the Final Forum, students can present their discussion results to the public and submit the outcome in the form of proposals to the government or other organizations.
