Welcome to the Global Issues Conference 2010

Our aim is to create a true network of people who CAN address these global issues and who WILL.

This site will host all of the online interaction between the participants at the GIN Conference hosted at Chinese International School Hong Kong in March 2010.

We strongly encourage you to join this Ning site if you are attending or interested in the GIN conference. Click Sign up in the upper right of the sidebar.

This site has a real focus on global issues and all interaction on the site should reflect that. Also, if you don't wish to upload a photo of yourself, you can upload an image that is representative of you or don't upload one at all.

This site is about networking, discussing (and hopefully solving) global issues, and sharing. Let's focus on making that work. May we ask that you look over the site and contact others who will be joining you in Hong Kong. Join the group that is in your area of interest. Start a forum in your group to promote your presentation, ask a question, upload documents or link to websites. This is a way to collaborate and network before the conference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some things to keep in mind to assist you. Each team will make a presentation/workshop based on what they are doing to address a global issue.

* The workshop is 50 minutes in length including some time for Q & A.
* Each workshop will have an essential question. Near the conclusion, the question should be answered briefly in writing and then discussed by the participants.
* The presentation/workshop should be interactive. Think how you learn best??
* Presentations should address the steps to keeping the project sustainable.
* Each presentation room will have a PC laptop in it with internet access. In order to ensure that presentations go smoothly, it is still recommended that presenters bring their own laptops when possible.
* All rooms are equipped with wireless internet, LCD projectors, and sound systems.
