  • The Global Issues Network (GIN) is an international non-profit organization that empowers students to collaborate and create project-based solutions for global and local issues. Founded in 2003 at the International School of Luxembourg, it operates through a worldwide community that encourages "global citizenry" and project-based learning, inspired by the work of Jean-François Rischard.

    GIN aims to move students from understanding global problems to taking local action, connecting their actions to global systems and fostering empathy and leadership through service learning.

  • Mission

    Empower young people to collaborate locally, regionally, and globally as changemakers who build inclusive project-based sustainable solutions that address our shared global issues.

    Vision

    An empowered global Network led by young changemakers who nurture and mobilize transgenerational communities of local-global citizens to build an inclusive, equitable and sustainable world.

    Projects by ISC GIN

    In the last ten years, ISC GIN students have been engaged in various projects both in our local community and outside the community. These projects include amongst many the sponsorship of an education to an under privileged deserving student, clothing drive for children from local orphanages, collection of food for the local animal shelter, hosting and attending local and international GIN Conferences and many others. In one of their biggest endeavor towards making a positive change, GIN students succeeded in making our school plastic and Styrofoam. November 6th 2017 marked a huge milestone for us all at the International School of Curacao! Our school became the first one on the island to discontinue the use of plastic and Styrofoam on campus.
