WELCOME LETTER
LETTER FROM TERRY HAYWOOD, HEADMASTER AT ISM
Dear Participants,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s GIN Conference, which my
school is privileged to be hosting. I am also humbled by the scale and implications of
what we are involved in, because I am quite serious when I say that this is probably
the most important event that any of us will attend this year. Whether we are
students, teachers, administrators or guests, attending a GIN event brings with it a
responsibility that no other conference or activity conveys.
The goals of GIN have always been ambitious as they are nothing less than making
an impact to change our world for the better. From the outset they have been
characterised by a sense of urgency, illustrated in the writings of Jean Francois
Richard such as “20 Global Problems: 20 Years to Solve Them”. Richard was convinced that we can’t delegate
responsibility for addressing these problems to governments and international agencies alone, not because we
can’t trust their intentions but because the rate of change in the twenty-first century is faster than these traditional
entities can react to. The imperative of GIN has always been that we have to take the responsibility ourselves, and to
use our own networks at local and global levels to leverage the changes we want to see in hearts, minds and action.
And nobody is better placed to take up this challenge than the young people in our schools, those who have access to
some of the most sophisticated networks and interest groups across the globe and who care most about addressing
the problems because the quality of life in the future depends on it.
Well over three hundred participants come together this weekend and I hope that you all enjoy a truly memorable
time in Milan. I may have spoken about challenges and responsibilities, but working together on exciting projects can
also be a really stimulating and, why not, even fun. I am truly honoured that my school can play a small part in this
process but it is you who will make a difference and I hope you return to your homes and schools next week with a
renewed sense of what you can achieve if you work together and really put your minds to it.
Malala Yousafzai, the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has said that “when the whole world is silent, even one voice
becomes powerful”. Your voices are what matter now, and I hope that taking part in this GIN event helps you to put
your voices together to make sure that they are heard.

Giacomo Babaglioni is the founder of Hiccup Circus Uganda.
Hiccup Circus Uganda (HCU) is a Child Protection
Project tailored for students, children living in
refugee camps, orphans and Kampala slums
youth. It provides psychosocial support to children
whilst simultaneously building and enhancing their
life skills helping them make informed decisions
and communicate effectively. HCU is a cultural,
educational, entertaining and participative
itinerant social circus without animals,
performed by youth for children.
The aims of the project are to introduce
circus arts and make available an
informal, flexible and creative
teaching/learning instrument,
targeted to specific needs
in order to allow children to
develop motivation, safety and
efficiency. HCU performances
and training is a medium for
providing incentives and arming
children with every available
weapon for their defense in the face
of potential harm.
HCU is committed to fostering respect for diversity,
non-violence and social inclusion, allowing youth to
reach and release their full potential in the world and
become means of behavioral changes and positive
role models into their families and communities.

goes to schools, orphanages, refugee camps and
youth centers and performs for free, and the
Kasikonda Youth Circus School, which trains Kampala
slums youth in circus arts, who then perform in
pediatric wards at local hospitals.

SAMMY ASSEFA
32 year old Ethiopian Dr Sammy
Assefa has been with the
educational support charity
A-CET for many years, the last
ten based in the UK where two
years ago he received his PhD
from Cambridge University. He
now works at the London School
of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
as a scientific researcher into a
malarial reduction programme,
spending months in Africa on field work. Dr Sammy is
still with A-CET now as a Trustee (Director). He visits
A-CET’s schloarship students and school projects
regularly - where he is a role model to all.

DEEPAK ASHWANI
Deepak Ashwani is the Founder of Dazin (Fuel Cookies
& Gasifying Stove solution for cooking energy).
Believing that the best way to find yourself is to lose
yourself in the service of others, Deepak was driven
to make an impact on humanity and environment and
dreams to see an altruistic world.
After resigning from his comfortable job in 2010
without any source of income ahead, Deepak
started living outside his comfort zone yet
again and decided to leave the technical
field and do something meaningful.
Did you know that smoke from open
fire cooking causes 8 deaths every
minute globally, which is more than
AIDS and malaria combined? 21%
of Global Black Carbon emissions is
attributed to cook stove smoke.
Dazin provides a circular economy based solution
of free fuel cookies and free smokeless stoves in
exchange to those rural households supplying free
forestry wood waste. This waste is densified into fuel
cookies in a local factory. Due to the efficiency of its Fuel
+ Stove system, Dazin produces an excess of fuel cookies
compared to the wood waste provided. These surplus
fuel cookies are sold in cities to offset the free services in
rural areas and expand impact to new areas.
After completion of a Bachelor’s degree from Puniab
Technical University (India), Deepak obtained a first
Masters in Air Pollution and Environmental Studies
from the University of Aveiro (Portugal) in 2011 and
a second Masters in Environmental Management
and Sustainability Science from Aalborg University
(Denmark) in 2012.
His awards, amongst others, include winning the Ben
& Jerry’s Join Our Core, SIDA Innovation Against
Poverty Grant & Develop Prize (2013) and the
Entrepreneurship in Denmark Competition for both
Jury and Audience Award (2012). Deepak was also
selected as a “StartingBloc Social Innovation Institute
Fellow” for Los Angeles, California, USA in 2012.

JOE MADIATH
Joe Madiath is a social entrepreneur who
brings Indian villagers together around
water and sanitation projects.
When he was 12, Joe Madiath unionized
young workers to fight for better work
conditions. They were employed by... his
own father. He was therefore sent away
to a boarding school.
After his studies, travels across India,
and participating in relief work afer a
devastating cyclone, in 1979 he founded
Gram Vikas. The name translates to
“village development” in both Hindi and
Oriya, the language of the state of Orissa,
where the organization is primarily active.
The bulk of Gram Vikas’ efforts are on
water and sanitation. The organization’s
approach is based on partnership with
villagers and gender equity. In order
to benefit from Gram Vikas’ support to
install water and sanitation
systems, the entire
village community
needs to commit
to participate
in the planning,
construction and
maintenance,
and all villagers,
regardless of social,
economic or caste
status, will have access
to the same facilities.
This requirement of 100 percent
participation is difficult, Madiath
acknowledges, but it leads to socially
equitable and long-term solutions. Gram
Vikas has already reached over 1,200
communities and over 400,000 people.

Bhopal, central India. Many survivors still suffer serious long-term health problems due to the
effects of gas exposure – particularly women. What’s more, contamination from chemicals left at

Human trafficking is everywhere. It’s not an exotic plight of a remote country. It’s a couple of clicks
away on your home computer, right here in every country’s heartland. You’ve probably seen it
but you have not realized what it was and looked away. Let’s take together the journey of the big

The EU is now faced with the challenge of differentiating between those fleeing from countries with
dangerous living environments and those simply coming to Europe for various economic reasons.
This issue affects some points of entry- Lampedusa in Italy- and some points of exit-Calais in France
and it is detrimental to the EU as a whole. Our project attempts to evaluate solutions for the EU,
especially France and Italy, without jeopardizing the safety of those in need.

The paper we waste each year can make a 12-foot high wall from New York to California. We use
paper like air in our lives and this is killing the nature and also our future. Imagine your grandkids
as kids who don’t know what a forest is. Imagine them growing up without the color green. There
are solutions but people recklessly continue wasting paper. We would not like to show ourselves as
daydreamers, but visionaries, we’d like to take action. So while we can, why wouldn’t we solve it?

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF STUTTGART
LILIAN TU, BENJAMIN LILLY, HENRIK POLZER
Laziness, sloth, and indifference plague every school-based project, regardless of school or country.
Global issues projects have always had to desperately search for student attention. We have
examined the management of projects, and have come up with viable methods to get motivated
groups of people involved in solving the issues, from nerd to jock, parent to teacher.

You might imagine that in countries as developed as Holland the number of people needing a local
food bank would be limited. This is not the case. In The Hague 2,400 households get food donated
to the food bank each week; over 30,000 in the whole country. This year our school took part in a
food drive and collected over 25 crates and plan to do it every 2 months. It was a great way to bring
our school together while working for a good cause. Some students now volunteer at the food bank
itself every week also.

The Italian olive oil is one of the most famous agricultural products around the world but last year,
because of climate change, its production almost stopped with serious consequences for both Italian
farmers and consumers. One out of three bottles has been drunk by a terrible fly. The unpredictable
rise of precipitation allowed the fly to inhabit Italy’s olive plantations with following outcomes:
increased prices, unemployment, economic crisis, the importing of olive oil with no quality control and
even trafficking. Our project demonstrates these issues and present possible solutions.
