AISA – GLOBAL ISSUES SERVICE SUMMIT (GISS) 2015
Maputo, Mozambique, April 23-25
The AISA – Global Issues Service Summit is about sharing ideas, building relationships and
empowering youth to make change as students come together to consider and develop solutions
for global issues.
This year celebrates the 7th Annual GISS and will be hosted by the American International School
of Mozambique from April 23rd to 25th. The theme of this year is Lanzelela: “Educating for
Sustainability”. Lanzelela means “an important pursuit” or “pursue a goal”; coined in Changane,
a language common in southern Mozambique. The pursuit for the 2015 summit will be to
understand and promote Education for Sustainability. We believe education is the key to
unleashing sustainable attitudes. It has the essential role of forming citizens who are engaged to
their communities’ improvement. Educated citizens are committed to sustainable attitudes at
home, in their businesses or workplace, in social enterprises, and among friends. They will share
their sustainable attitudes with everyone around them creating a virtuous cycle.
To find out more about the AISA-GISS conference go to http://aisagiss.org/
There will also be a GISS table at the exhibition space at the AISA 2015 conference and Gabriel Limaverde, the host of the event, is
happy to answer any of your queries. He can be contact at: gabriel.limaverde@aism-moz.com
SCHOLARSHIP’S AVAILABLE: Scholarships are available for schools wanting to bring students to the event. See the AISA Service
Award at www.aisa.or.ke
#AfricaEd is a Twitter chat every Tuesday and Thursday focused on creating
connections and sharing ideas among educators working on the African Continent
and beyond. The slow chat starts at 7am GMT and lasts throughout the day.
Chat topics vary each week and have included discussions of classroom resources,
technology training and navigating hiring fairs. Visit africaedchat.com search
