Episode Summary
Thinking Globally - Acting Locally at The Summit at the International School of Bangkok
On this episode, I connect with Nami, a senior at the International School of Bangkok. In January 2025, ISB hosted their second student leadership summit, an international event drawing student leaders from across the region to attend workshops, build skills, make connections, and collaborate on new initiatives to work towards a more equitable, just, joyful and sustainable future. Aaron Moniz, co-founder and director of Inspire Citizens, has been involved as a speaker and key supporter of The Summit since its inception. Similarly, Nami has been part of the team who has organized The Summit in both 2024 and 2025. She shares her insights on the summit and the impact it has had on her and other student leaders in the region. Keep an eye out for next year’s Summit that will be held at Korea International School in Seoul, Korea.
