Welcome

Dear GIN participants,

On behalf of our school and local community, I welcome you to Chinese
International School and to Hong Kong. We expect that when you depart on
Sunday, you will have more than just memories of a new place, new friends,
and new ideas that can quickly fade. The theme of this GIN conference is
KNOW-CARE-ACT. GIN is based on the belief that people of all ages can
be effective agents of change in civil society. I am sure that each of your
heads of school and each of the faculty members accompanying you to this
conference has boundless confidence in your capacity to know, care, act.
GIN is not an end in itself; it is not an “activity”. It is an opportunity to take
all of your learning and to become people of action in the world. For this I
am proud and excited to welcome you to our school.

Ted Faunce, PhD

Headmaster

Chinese International School proudly welcomes over 500 participants

representing over 50 International Schools to the Global Issues Network
Conference for 2010 (with the theme - Know, Care, Act!).
The 2010 GIN conference will present you with many opportunities to learn,
share, participate, discuss, debate, inspire, influence, and take real steps to
address some of the global issues that we all face today and that our children
and grandchildren will face tomorrow.
The keynote speakers will provide you with the opportunity to hear their
passion, to be inspired with their individual drive and to be amazed with
their stories. The workshops and global village sessions provides you with
the chance to work with and interact with other students from all over the
world in order to develop a common understanding of the issues facing us
today. The short films and team presentations will allow you to share your
passion and prior good work with everybody at the conference.
My challenge to you all is to grasp these opportunities, to speak up, to
participate, to take action and to articulate what we collectively need to do in
order to solve these problems and to positively affect the world around us.

 Introduction to Conference

Earth’s Hope was the theme of the first EARCOS Global Issues Network (GIN) Conference held in
Beijing-2008 and the second, in Bangkok, was We Can. We Will. This year, we are looking forward to
the third GIN Conference and the theme we have chosen is Know. Care. Act.

The Global Issues Network is based on the ideas described by Jean Francois Rischard in his book High
Noon. Twenty Global Problems, Twenty Years to Solve Them (Basic Books 2003). Rischard identifies
20 urgent global problems and encourages the formation of small groups around the world to help solve
them. Global Issues Networks have been formed in many international schools throughout the world
empowering international school students to create sustainable solutions to global problems.

The Conference promises to be a transformational experience shaped by motivational keynote speakers,

an experiential series of workshops, opportunities for discussion in Global Village Groups and an
empowering series of short films made by the conference delegates.

It is a Conference for students, led by students and designed to send the young people attending
enthusiastically back into their communities determined and able to make a difference to the world.

We first started planning this Conference over a year ago. Inspired by the hugely successful events in
Beijing and Bangkok, we knew we had our work cut out to pull it together.

We began by putting together a small steering committee of staff and later added a group of students who
would “shadow” us. The staff met once a week to shape the Conference and gradually, over the last few
months, we handed over more of the responsibility to the students who have had two full weekends of
training along with numerous Saturday meetings with us. There has been much laughter, discussion and,
recently, stress.

This Conference is truly a collaborative effort. We are confident that we can now completely hand over
to our talented students to run an exciting and successful two and half days, of which we will be proud,
motivating participants to Know, Care and Act.

We hope you will enjoy your time in Hong Kong and it has been our pleasure to host you and so many
participants from around the world.

 The Team
With thanks to the Chinese International School student leaders who have made this conference possible
Charles Stone
Conference Host
Working with such a dedicated team
of CIS students has been the highlight
of my experience in hosting this year’s
Global Issues Network Conference. The
enthusiasm and energy of my peers have
breathed life into the event, and I hope
that our guests and student delegates
from around the world enjoy and benefit
from the weekend as much as I know I
will.
Lucas Sin
Event Management
As event manager, organizing the GIN
conference was not about ordering the
bags, putting up curtains or inviting
NGOs to the fair - it was knowing,
caring and acting about my fellow
students, my school, my conference; and
hence, my global issues.

Hannah Short
Conference Host
Finance
Being a part of the CIS Global Issues
Group has been both great fun and has
given me a total reality check. The GIN
conference has only furthered that, and
I’m really looking forward to meeting
like-minded people who I can help, and
who can help me, achieve the change
that we aim for - and is necessary - in
the world.
Wenyan Deng

“Know, Care, Act”, everyone of us is a
part of it. Together, we will become the
change we want to see.
Victoria Li
Program Editor
Human Resources
The GIN Conference is undoubtedly one
of the best things that has happened to
our school — students helping students
help the world. The many hours of hard
work, frustration and thought put into
this conference? Definitely worth it.
Sarah Pemberton
Village Groups
Global Issues, whether they be political,
economic, social, technological,
environmental or legal affect us all,
and the opportunity to host the GIN
conference this year has created a
platform for communication and sharing
of ideas, of which I am increasingly
grateful.
 Medora Choi
Village Groups
I have been engaged with the Global
Issues Group since 2008. I was always
interested in GIN and now being one of
the leaders of the Global Issues Network
has allowed me to grow closer to my
peers and taught me how to learn to be
brave and confident. I am honored to be
part of this network and will carry the
memories of this experience for life.
Angela Pan
Workshop
I could not have thought of a better
way to begin my first year as a partici-
pant by helping to organize the GIN
2010 EARCOS Conference at CIS.
There were ups and downs to the whole
experience from the piles of to-do’s and
emails to send, but it was nevertheless
extremely rewarding and a wonderful
experience.
Danielle Lay
Finance
In my anticipation and preparation for
the GIN conference, the past months
can be summed into a simple equation.
Leadership + Experience + Global
Acknowledgement = Inspiration.
Valerie Yee
Workshop
Being in GIN has really taught me how
to be a better leader, as well as teach
me more about time management and
prioritizing things I have to do. It’s been
a really valuable and fruitful experience
for me.
GIN 2010 • Chinese International School
Nathan Barlow
GIN has been an exceptional experience
because it has taught me essential skills
required to tackle projects and matters of
global importance.
Asia Chiao
Workshop
The best thing about helping to organize
the GIN conference was simply
being able to see all of the extensive
preparations that we’d made finally
come together. In the early stages I had
my doubts, but now I’m confident that
when the 500 students do arrive in Hong
Kong, we’ll be ready.

Vincent Hsu
Technology & Media
GIN has provided me an opportunity to take up the role
of a leader for the first time. Being the youngest leader in
the conference, I have learnt a great deal through working
with my peers and seniors. It has been an enjoyable and
meaningful experience, one I shall not forget.
Marian Rossiter
Conference Co-ordinator
Marian is a Deputy Head of CIS Secondary School, in charge
of Pastoral Care. Marian has worked at CIS since 1996.
Her enthusiasm for student involvement in Global Issues
was instigated by a visit to AS Guangzhou to a Celebration
of Service summit in 2007, resulting in a rapidly organised
student group for the Luxembourg GIN Conference in March
2007. Marian has also attended both the Earcos Conferences
in Beijing and Bangkok along with the CIS student
delegation. Planning for the current Conference began over
a year ago and she hopes all the hard work will result in
students being inspired to Know, Care, Act!

Working as a leader of GIN was a very fruitful experience,
it allowed me to develop my leadership, organizational, and
social skills. Also, it was a great opportunity to work with
fellow leaders to organize such a large scale conference.
Above all, it was great fun!
Edmund Aldiss
Conference Co-ordinator
Ed has taught Economics and Geography at CIS since 2006.
He is the faculty leader of the CIS Global Issues Group

 Key note Speakers

David James Begbie (DJ) is the director of the Global Village Life
X-perience program at charity organization Crossroads International,
and a spokesman for both Crossroads International and Global Hand.
Armed with a master’s degree in organizational leadership from
Regent University in the US, David wants to be a ‘voice for the
voiceless’ – to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
His vision is well expressed through the Global Village Life
X-perience program, Crossroads International’s latest development.
The experiential education program directed by David, in which
David Begbie
participants experience the lives of the less fortunate, was started as
Crossroads Foundation a result of the 10th anniversary of Crossroads International, when
http://www.crossroads.org.hk/ a small group of Hong Kong executives were invited to live in
simulated slum conditions for 24 hours. More than 12,000 people
from the corporate, educational and social sectors have participated since the program’s inception in 2005.
David has been a full time volunteer for Crossroads International and Global Hand, two sister charities based
in Hong Kong. The duty of Crossroads International is to redistribute surplus goods received from the Hong
Kong community to over 500 charities both within Hong Kong and in more than 50 nations in the world for
free; while Global Hand, a web-based platform, matches corporate surplus with people in dire need in order
to facilitate public-private partnerships. It has built applications for the World Economic Forum and Rotary
International and is currently developing applications for other NGOs and INGOs.

Efren Peñaflorida is the founder of Dynamic Teen Company (DTC).

A group of concerned young people with a mission of making a
small yet significant difference in other people’s lives, particularly
the small children in slum areas who have no access to education,
basic hygiene and sometimes, even love from their families. The
group was founded in August 1997 by four teenagers from Cavite,
located south of Manila, Philippines. The initial group made up
of around 20 members started as a friendship club which aimed
to divert the attention of students from joining violent gangs and
notorious fraternities that were thriving on the campus. Their major
platform then was to cater youth awareness projects, talent and self
development activities, and community services.
For the past 12 years, Peñaflorida and his team of teen volunteers
have taught basic reading and writing to children living on the
Efren Peñaflorida streets. Their main tool: A pushcart classroom. Stocked with books,
Dynamic Teen Company pens, tables and chairs, his Dynamic Teen Company recreates a
http://dynamicteencompany.org/ school setting in unconventional locations such as the cemetery and
municipal trash dump.
Peñaflorida knows firsthand the adversity faced by these children. Born into a poor family, he lived in a shanty
near the city dump site. But he says he refused to allow his circumstances to define his future. After sifting
through 9,000 nominees from over 100 countries, CNN’s Blue Ribbon Panel selected Peñaflorida as one of its
28 heroes of 2009. On October 1, Peñaflorida was named among the ten finalists. On November 22, he was
named CNN Hero of the Year for 2009.

Zoology at London University and moved to Hong Kong in the 1980’s.
She joined the World Wildlife Fund in Hong Kong in 1990 to establish
their Marine Conservation Programme; a significant task in a place
that had no legislation to protect the coastal waters and where massive
development was taking place before the handover to China. During her
tenure there, she was instrumental in setting up four Marine Protected
Areas.  
Over the past 13 years she has been involved in numerous underwater
filming projects around the world, from Antarctica to the pristine reefs of Jo Ruxton
the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean.   Media Dive Crews UK
Jo established her own underwater media company, Media Dive Crews, http://web.me.com/mediadivecrews/
in 2008 as well as continuing to work as a documentary producer.  She Media_Dive_Crews/About_Us.html
is now jointly producing  Plastic Oceans  and is confident that it will
play a major role in changing the way we think about plastic waste and ultimately cleaning up our oceans and
watercourses throughout the world.

Inspirational and charismatic, Spencer West will speak candidly about

the struggles he has overcome after losing his legs at the age of five, and
how he never lost the hope or courage he needed to overcome personal
obstacles. Filled with both humour and humility, his thought-provoking
message will inspire students to find opportunity in every challenge.
With every speech, Spencer leaves an indelible mark on his audiences,
instilling hope and strong leadership so that they can inspire others to
create positive change.
In 2008, Spencer travelled to Kenya on an international volunteer trip
where he helped build a school in a rural community in the Maasai Mara.
On this trip, he met young people who strive to overcome challenges
every day. He credits this experience for helping him recognize his true
calling — to motivate and inspire people around the world.
Since he began speaking, Spencer has reached over 20,000 students with Spencer West
his encouraging words. He captivated audiences of thousands at Me to Me to We
We Day events with his keynote address, one of which was featured http://www.metowe.com/
nationally on CTV and viewed by 1.8 million people.
While on the Go Global speaking tour, Spencer helped young people overcome daily challenges, offering
concrete actions to find personal strength and believe in themselves as active change-makers. His words have
encouraged thousands of young people to become more socially involved in their communities and around the
world.

 Core Workshops

What is a Core Workshop?

A Core Workshop is a large group interactive experience based on or related to a global issue. All delegates will
move through the four different core workshops over the three days of the conference.

How will I know which workshop to go to?

Check the color of the GIN Conference 2010, on your lanyard. That is your workshop group. Now check the
table below to see where you need to go!

Crossroads International
Led by: David Begbie
Location: Lower Primary Gym
This interactive workshop will invite participants to explore the world of HIV/AIDS and life-style choices that
impact the spread of the virus. The personal, family, and societal impact of the virus will also be considered,
leaving the participant with an idea of how to answer the call to each of us to step up, and make a difference in
a world that is dying for help.

12 GIN 2010 • Chinese International School

Asia Pacific Youth Network: Demand Dignity and Voices Activism
Led by: APYN Youth Ambassadors
Location: Drama Studio
Asia Pacific Youth Network is made up of youth organizations from across the Asia-Pacific region
that collaborate on human rights issues. They have recently come together in their support of Amnesty
International’s global Demand Dignity campaign (http://demanddignity.amnesty.org). The campaign’s equation
is Human Rights = Less Poverty. It aims to end global poverty by strengthening recognition and protection of
the rights of the poor. The combined abuse of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights drives and
deepens poverty. The campaign demands that all states adopt and implement the laws, policies and practices
that will end deprivation, insecurity, exclusion, and voicelessness. The workshop will introduce the Demand
Dignity campaign and the concept of Voices Activism, give examples of youth activism, show you how to plan
and conduct your own activities and projects, and invite you to join the APYN.

Chinese International School Global Issues

Led by: Chinese International School students
Location: Upper Secondary Gym
Designed, constructed, organized, presented and facilitated completely by students, for students, the Global
Issues Simulation Workshop is the Chinese International School’s contribution to the many activities that
will be taking place over the course of the weekend. Participants will have a chance to collaborate with one
another and complete challenges while interacting with the workshop’s main feature: an enormous, gym-sized
world map. The workshop itself is designed to fulfill 3 goals: to provide participants with the chance to share
their own knowledge while learning from one another, to equip everyone with a broader perspective of global
interactions, and finally, to encourage realization of the fact that we must work together as one world and one
community if we are to solve the issues facing us today.

Media Dive Crews: Plastic Oceans

Led by: Jo Ruxton
Location: Upper Primary Gym
Wildlife filmmaker, Jo Ruxton, gives an introduction to the emerging issue of plastic waste collecting in the
centre of the oceans. You will learn about the problem, how it happened, what it is doing to wildlife, and what
we can do to help prevent it. You will have a chance to play an active role in the design of practical solutions
based on the information you are given. You will watch the pilot of a National Geographic documentary, “Plastic
Oceans”. And-- who knows -- your design could be built and featured in the main film next year!

 Session 1: Student Presentations

Water Conservation, A Project for Singapore’s Students 1701

Bukit Panjang Government High School
Our school, in an attempt to engage Singaporeans on the issue of water conservation, have devised a study
which will involve the entire student body (and eventually the entire country) in a project to determine how
much water can be saved by placing a 600ml bottle of water in the tank of every toilet connected to the school
com-munity. We will report our findings to the cluster (regional head) and national authorities such as the
Ministry of Education and the Water Authority of Singapore, a global leader in the field of water management.

A Community Approach to Waste Management 1702

Bali International School
Bali’s reputation as a tropical paradise is being challenged by issues related to waste management. We will
present a community waste project set up by BIS students and discuss a community-based approach to
developing solutions to waste management.

BeGIN 1703
Seoul Foreign School
How does GIN work at school? What do we do and how? How can GIN apply to life? If you are new to GIN
and would like to know more about the tricks and tips of being a lean, green presence at your school, this
workshop is for you. If you are old to GIN and would like to discuss how we can all improve what we do,
this workshop is for you as well. We will share the ins and outs of everything from GIN Fairs to advertising
campaigns to bipedal polar bears.

Half the Sky 1705

QSI International School of Shekou
We will highlight the need for gender equity in education and the positive results of gender equity. We will also
highlight what is being done and what can be done.

Knowing, Acting and Caring for Our School Community 1707

Through Microcredit
New International School Thailand

Maids, technicians and gardeners play an essential role in our school community. Without them, a school
cannot function properly. But have you looked at their salaries? They are the lowest paid members of our school
community. Most of the time, their salary is barely enough to meet their family’s daily needs. This presentation
will focus on how a group of students have started to address this issue by setting up a microcredit bank based
on Grameen Bank founded by Muhammad Yunus.

16 GIN 2010 • Chinese International School

Education, the Real Charity 1708
Shanghai American School
We will focus on educational issues in this presentation.

8 Millennium Goals 1801

Southbank International School
Students will invite other students to be part of their presentation which consists of awareness games and brief
presentations of information.

Something to Chew On – The Gumball Challenge 1802

International School of Tianjin
We will examine issues of poverty and how microfinance can improve the circumstances of many. The
International School of Tianjin recently launched China’s first Gumball Challenge, a microfinance competition
designed to raise awareness and to encourage young entrepreneurs to make a difference by donating profits to
Wokai, a Beijing-based microfinance organization. You will learn how to organize and implement a Gumball
Challenge at your school. We will share our experience, our reflections and might even throw in a few sweet
treats. If you attend, you’ll have something to chew on!

A Long Distance Gift for Sierra Leone 1803

International School of Beijing
Traveling almost half of the globe over three months, the ISB Global Issues Group (GIG) gathered Christmas
gifts, with help from Sierra Leone Embassy. These gifts were sent to children in Sierra Leone. We would like to
share this story with you. Sierra Leone is a country in Africa where public education is under-developed. Our
gifts did not change the world, but they planted seeds of care and love in the children’s hearts. In return, the
visit to the Sierra Leone Embassy was an unforgettable experience for ISB Global Issues Group members. The
speech by the ambassador, Mr. Koroma, touched our hearts. We would like to pass on the love by giving you a
gift as well. A long distance gift can be powerful; a meant-to-be meeting can be a miracle.

Read to Succeed 1805

Shanghai American School
1 billion adults cannot read. That is 40% of the world’s population who are cut off from success in today’s
world. How can we help? Our solution: Begin with your community. The Problem: Disadvantaged schools do
not have enough access to books. The Solution: Provide that access to as many schools as possible, one by one.
Implementation: ‘Books on Wheels.’ Begin with a library cart. We believe that people can join together and
help to create more libraries for the underprivileged schools in our own communities. Let us share with you our
plans to bring libraries to migrant schools here in China.

Working Together to Change the World 2705

Taejon Christian International School
Our GIN group at TCIS operates as a hub that ties together all clubs on our campus which deal with global
issues. As a result of our hub format, we have been able to encourage collaboration on major campaigns
and initiatives, and we’ve been able to do much more than we would have been able to if the various groups
operated as separate entities. We plan to help our groups think about the power of working together to change
the world. We’ll use the example of our big annual banquet to illustrate what we do. We’ll also share structural
information about our group and make it available to other schools.

Lose the Shoes 1807

Chinese International School
We will present the successful planning and running of a 3-on-3 Barefoot Charity Soccer Tournament called

lessons learned that are required to organize a similar tournament.

Can a Kind Sir Spare Some Change? 1808

Think Global, Act Local: The 10 Commandments of Service for Dummies 1701
Jakarta International School
We all know how to think globally, but do we know how to act locally? In the end, people do not judge you by
rhetoric but by what you have done for the world. As High School students, we have time to make a difference
and to act before it is too late, so let’s make a start. We now introduce you to the 10 Commandments of Service
for Dummies.

Poverty in the Midst of Plenty 1702

Shekou International School
Shekou-Shenzhen is an “economic miracle” of China. From a Chinese perspective, the streets are paved with
gold. The rapid growth and luxury lifestyle is apparent to people throughout China. So why are there beggars
on the streets? What is their story? Who are they? Where do they come from? How do they live? What support
do they get from the authorities? What can people do to help? These were the questions we set out to answer.

Human Trafficking in Japan 1802

International School Japan
While human trafficking in Japan is a major issue, it seems to be a well-kept secret. Modern-day slavery is
happening in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan. It is time to begin to lift the veil on this insidious human rights
abuse.

Fresh Water Resources 1803

Gyeongnam International Foreign School
We will reflect on the world’s current fresh water resources, water usage, water pollution, and finally, fresh-
water resource solutions. In a world where fresh water is a key to survival, it is becoming increasingly
important to make sure that global fresh water resources are being protected and used wisely. We’ll show you

internet-connected school in Siem Reap. Come hear about our efforts to make a difference in the lives of some

The Poverty Cycle: Why Our Efforts Have Not Been Enough 2704
Concordia International School Shanghai
Why have our efforts not been enough to eradicate poverty? Are we failing human-kind? Will there ever be
enough aid? What can we really do? Why does poverty even exist? Is there really a method to stop it once and
for all? Why can’t the whole world be given equal opportunities? We will present the poverty cycle. Too often,
only one or two aspects of poverty are addressed. However, the issue of poverty cannot be solved by only
addressing the effects of poverty. Indeed, the only way to resolve poverty is to address all elements in the entire
poverty cycle. Come to our presentation if you’d like to find some answers!

HIV Aids 2706

Chinese International School
AIDS is now second only to the Black Death as the largest epidemic in history. AIDS kills over 3 million
people a year, or about one person every 12 seconds. AIDS wipes out entire communities. Teachers die, leaving
schools empty; doctors and nurses die, leaving hospitals with nothing; farmers die, leaving crops in the fields.
Entire villages are devastated. Come to our presentation, and find out about AIDS and what the Global Issues
Group did to raise awareness on World AIDS Day.

Ondoy: 34 in 6 1703
Brent International School Manila
On September 26, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy brought a month’s worth of rainfall to Metro Manila and nearby areas
in just a few hours, causing severe flooding which resulted in the loss of many lives and the displacement of
hundreds of thousands of people. The Philippines is susceptible to many natural disasters. What is to stop this
from happening again? We will show how this affects communities through an interactive simulation and focus
on solutions that can be applied to mitigate the devastating effects of natural disasters.

Hungry to Learn: Is Education a Privilege? 1705

American International School of Guangzhou
Are you sick of going to school? Don’t you wish you didn’t have to go? For tens of millions of children,
this isn’t an option. Poverty forces these children to spend their days earning wages instead of receiving
an education. We will investigate the lives of children who don’t have the privilege of education and the
consequences of being stuck in the poverty cycle.

Philippines Community Fund: Waste Management, Education, and the Environment 1707
International School Manila
Waste management has been a challenge since civilization began. However, the problem has become more
acute with global industrialization. Waste management has become an industry in itself and has fallen into the
hands of big businesses and innovators alike. This workshop will explore how effective waste management can
improve environmental awareness in a school as well as promote social change. We will share the challenges
and successes we have encountered in developing a meaningful partnership with PCF, the innovative NGO that
collects our trash.

Hunger Banquet for Haiti 1708

Singapore American School
We decided to hold the school’s first Hunger Banquet to experience firsthand how our decisions affect others
in the world. Our goal was to raise awareness about hun-ger, poverty, and inequality. We wanted to take action
and to motivate others to act to address hunger and poverty. Funds from the banquet were directed toward
improving the food security of the people of Haiti.

disease. We will try to help people understand the situation and seek solutions to these issues around the globe.

plenty of time to wander about and explore. The Peak provides panoramic views of the city, so be sure to bring
your camera. We will be there at sunset, an ideal time to see world-famous Victoria Harbour, with Hong Kong
Island below, and Kowloon and the green hills in the distance. There are walking trails nearby, flanked by lush
tropical forest and extensive birdlife, where you can take a short stroll.
Café Deco is located in the Peak Galleria shopping mall, where there is a viewing deck, and you can find
souvenirs, so be sure to bring money.
