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 organise Model United Nations conferences, bring different faiths together at the Festival of Lights event - Hanukkah, Diwali and Christmas. They also organise inclusive competitions through the House System among many other initiatives. We would like the session to feature our younger leaders, i.e. 14 - 16 year olds 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 the freedom and encouragement. Participants will take away new ideas and also see how student leadership works in an international school context.
