The AISA-Global Issues Service Summit (AISA-GISS) is a unique conference that combines the ideals of the successful Service Summit Africa 2009, initiated and hosted by the International School of Uganda (Michael Lees, Service Summit founder & coordinator) and the Global Issues Network (GIN) conferences hosted around the world. This unique conference builds both student and faculty partnerships across the African continent and beyond. It provides an opportunity for students and educators alike to share best practices and learn new ideas for sustainable solutions to global issues and strategies to promote service and service learning.
After two days of being informed, inspired and equipped to make a difference, students devote the final day of the three-day conference to act and work together on sustainable service projects around the hosting city.
AISA stands for Association of International Schools in Africa and GISS stands for Global Issues Service Summit.
