The Global Issues Network is based on the ideas in Jean Francois Rischard's book High Noon "Twenty Global Problems, Twenty Years to Solve Them." Rischard identifies 20 urgent global problems and encourages the formation of small groups around the world to help solve them. This echoes Margaret Mead's famous quotation, "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Global Issues Groups have been formed in many international schools throughout the world empowering international school students to help solve urgent global problems. We in EARCOS will now have the opportunity to do the same to create change in Asia. We invite all EARCOS schools to send a group(2-6) of students to this life changing event.
