What is the Global
Student Conference?
This year’s one-week Asia-Pacific’s Global
Student Conference 2020 will be held in
Singapore. For those teachers and schools
that have participated in the IB World
Student Conferences during the last seven
years, CAS Trips are offering this Global
Student Conference as a logical continuation
of this fine tradition.
We are inviting your school to meet, engage
and collaborate with fellow international
students from all over the world to tack
the central theme: Global Climate Crisis:
Innovation, Impact, Action.
The Conference will be closely aligned with
the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Students will be tasked with the challenge of
working collaboratively to explore, engage,
plan and organize an impactful long-term
CAS Trips Changemakers Challenge project
back home.
With keynote speakers delivering morning
lectures ahead of staff-led breakout
workshops, students will eat on-site at
Marlborough College before afternoons of
fantastic hands-on Creativity, Activity and
Service challenges.
The itinerary is all-inclusive of local
transport, airport transfers, accommodation,
all meals, CAS activities and CAS Trips staff.
Trained and qualified professionals lead
all activities, while our dedicated CAS Trips
team will be on hand to assist every step of
the way, 24 hours a day –from the arrivals
gate to the departure lounge.

Singapore
For a tiny island city-state, Singapore packs a
mighty punch. A home to Indian, Chinese and
Malay communities, it has long been a place where
Asia converges to do business. The heady mix of
cultures shows everywhere from its markets to its
temples – and above all in the famous cuisine.
The concrete jungles that once dominated
Singapore’s skyline are slowly giving way to green
skyscrapers, which look more like living ecosystems
than business hubs. Working towards its ‘City in a
Garden’ dream, the nation is investing money into
becoming more sustainable. In 2015, Unesco World
Heritage listed the Singapore Botanic Gardens as
the 39th site, and many consider it the lungs of
Singapore.

T he T heme
Each day of the Conference has been thoroughly
planned to introduce and engage students with the
central theme of Global Climate Crisis: Innovation,
Impact, Action.
Whether you call it global warming or climate
change, we all know that the crisis is real. The UN
warns that the global climate crisis is the greatest
ever threat to human rights.
A lot of us talk about the effects of CO2 emissions,
changing lifestyle habits and the importance of
doing so for generations to come. Yet only a small
percentage of the population actually walk the talk.
This Conference serves to inspire students to put
words into action by discovering how technology
and innovation can help us make a positive impact
in regards to the global climate crisis.

The Conference is closely aligned with the United

working collaboratively, students will also initiate,
plan and partake in pulsating Service Challenges with
charity partners and NGOs, tackling these goals to
positively shape our planet’s future.
