This year celebrates the 7th Annual GISS and will be hosted by the American International School of Mozambique from April 23rd to 25th. The theme of this year is Lanzelela: “Educating for Sustainability”. Lanzelela means “an important pursuit” or “pursue a goal”; coined in Changane, a language common in southern Mozambique. The pursuit for the 2015 summit will be to understand and promote Education for Sustainability. We believe education is the key to unleashing sustainable attitudes. It has the essential role of forming citizens who are engaged to their communities’ improvement. Educated citizens are committed to sustainable attitudes at home, in their businesses or workplace, in social enterprises, and among friends. They will share their sustainable attitudes with everyone around them creating a virtuous cycle. To find out more about the AISA-GISS conference go to http://aisagiss.org/ There will also be a GISS table at the exhibition space at the AISA 2015 conference and Gabriel Limaverde, the host of the event, is happy to answer any of your queries.
