By: The Global Studies Academy's Global Issues Summit
RICHMOND, Texas - Fort Bend ISD’s Global Studies Academy will host its 11th annual Global Issues Summit (GIS) on April 15th, 2023. Proudly run by a collective of school officials and students, the summit aims to spread awareness about a range of global concerns to members of the community, as well as to inform them about measures being taken to “ turn awareness into action." This year, the Summit seeks to address the issues of access and availability, ranging from basic necessities, such as food and water, to more complex assets, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. It will explore the ways in which an interconnected global network can foster a transformative means for development in isolated or developing areas, hence the theme of “Global Connection: The Path to Prosperity.” Attendees will choose breakout rooms that pique their interest, each of which will address a Sustainable Development Goal - goals set by the United Nations in 2015 in order to solve some of the world’s most prevalent issues by the year 2030. The event’s speakers, ranging from service directors to organization chairs, will give a series of inspiring presentations regarding efforts that capture the spirit of these Sustainable Development Goals. With the knowledge gained from the summit, community members will be better equipped to address pressing issues from a more well-informed and global perspective. The Global Issues Summit is free and required to attend upon registration. Registration is open from February 27th to April 7th, 2023.
