After the success of the 1st Global Issues Conference, the organizers are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for GIC 2.

TheGlobal Issues Conference 2 will facilitate further student-centered discussions on a wide range of topics which impact young people and their futures across the globe.
During the weeklong conference, there will be multiple sessions covering topics which have an impact across the globe.

Each session will be chaired by a faculty member of the GPE organisation and include up to 5 presentations from various institutions.
Selected student papers will be published in a special edition of the Global Partners in Education Journal and certificates will be provided to all participating students and faculty sponsors.
