Warwick Economics Summit is an international forum for students from all over the world whose academic aspirations and desire for self-improvement set them apart, and also for the most influential speakers from around the world who provide inquisitive students with relevant information and inspire them to think critically.

International School’s students, accompanied by their Business teacher, and some of the Year 11 and 12 students – Helena Čalić, Mia Aleksić, Ivana Popovska, Uroš Čigoja, Iva Šćekić, Ivana Zoranović, Jelena Parmak, Nina Živaljević, Maša Popović, and Boris Bogdanović – attended the summit, which was held from 4 to 6 February.

“Be the change you want to see in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi

It is extremely important that schools, as well as local and international organisations, encourage young people to actively take part in improving society through various projects that aim to educate, raise awareness, make people more cultured, and eventually develop our society step by step.
With this in mind, International School strives to turn its students into innovators, reformers, enthusiasts working towards their own and social progress and promoting education, development and culture, philanthropists, and global leaders who will pass their desire for success and improvement down to younger generations.

We take part in globally relevant projects

An international and entirely student-run forum, Warwick Economics Summit is a prime example of the way useful projects are used to inspire young people to become socially engaged. By participating in those projects, talented students from all over the world have an opportunity to listen to some of the most revered and inspirational speakers worldwide.

Another important aspect of the summit is that its focus goes far beyond the field of economics, which is why International School’s students and all the other students had an opportunity to learn something new about important societal topics, namely social sciences, including sociocultural aspects of development, politics, journalism, and international relations. It is this diversity that sets the Warwick Economics Summit apart from other events, ensuring that it remains relevant and concerned with today’s vital issues.

This was yet another inspirational experience for International School’s students. They learned that an open mind and a multidisciplinary approach can shape the future we all want.
