Students at the International School of Belgium, who are primarily of Asian background, are very proactive in Student Leadership. They have initiated “’Are You Ok?' Day” which is a well-being event aimed at their peers and staff along with student-led counselling at break and lunch times. They alsohave a Student Support Group  and bring different faiths together at the Festival of Lights event - Hanukkah, Diwali, Ramadan and Christmas. They also organize inclusive competitions through the House System among many other initiatives. This session features the school’s younger leaders (i.e., age 14–16) as this is a group that often gets neglected when it comes to student leadership, yet they can be powerful drivers in a school if given freedom and encouragement. Participants will take away new ideas and also see how student leadership works in a diverse school context. The students want the session to be interactive and there will be audience participation and a Q and A at the end.
