Workshop title: After the Storm: Rebuilding Wellness for Children

Workshop description:

After the Storm: Rebuilding Wellness for Children is a student-led workshop that explores child wellness as a public health issue in the aftermath of disaster. Grounded in Jean-François Rischard’s High Noon: 20 Global Problems, 20 Years to Solve Them, the workshop connects local action in Jamaica to the global challenge of public health and wellbeing. Drawing on a real project carried out by Grade 9 and 10 GIN students following Hurricane Melissa, participants examine how children’s social and emotional needs are often overlooked during recovery efforts. The workshop is fully interactive, engaging participants in movement, creative expression, calming strategies, and reflection activities used with younger students in an affected community. Students also share challenges encountered and the adaptations they made to ensure ethical and responsible engagement. Participants leave with practical, low-resource strategies they can apply in their own communities to support child wellness after a crisis.

Mindful Cooking

Workshop description

Each meal we cook is a choice, and what we waste in the kitchen matters equally as much as what we eat. SDG 12 starts at home, with how we buy, cook and consume food. Our student-led workshop “Mindful Cooking” explores SDG 12 by raising awareness on high energy and CO2 production while preparing meals and promoting recipes with mindful use of resources. We will present multicultural digital recipe cards of sustainable recipes with locally sourced ingredients and low environmental impact preparation. Through a hands-on, interactive cooking workshop and peer discussions, participants will reflect on their environmental footprint, and have the opportunity to try some of our dishes.

School: The International School of The Hague

Workshop title: Life of a piece of paper

Workshop description

In paper recycling, we pick up used paper in our school. Our goal is to push our community to recycle their paper instead of throwing them in the regular bins. We collaborated together with younger year groups to send them across the whole school so that they collect the recycling bins and fulfil their S&A (Service & Action) requirements. We hosted weekly meetings to discuss our initiative and work on our global goal being: sustainable cities and communities.

Workshop title: Boys Mental health

Workshop description:

This workshop focuses on mental health in boys and young men, exploring why so many struggle in silence and why asking for help can feel “weak.” Students will openly discuss real pressures such as stress, confidence, expectations, and emotional suppression, while breaking down harmful stereotypes around masculinity. Through group activities and practical problem-solving, students will work together to create real solutions. By the end of the session, students will turn their ideas into a sustainable project, such as a school awareness campaign, peer support initiative, or long-term wellbeing programme, ensuring lasting impact beyond the workshop.

Workshop title: Solar Panel Group

Workshop description:

The Solar Panel Group at ISL is a student-led initiative dedicated to making our school and wider community more sustainable. Our mission is to reduce ISL’s carbon footprint by promoting clean, renewable energy and supporting the successful implementation of solar power on campus. Through the installation of solar panels, we are helping ISL take meaningful steps toward lowering greenhouse gas emissions and becoming a greener school. We are in charge of advertising and highlighting the hard work, planning, and collaboration that went into getting these solar panels up and running. By sharing updates, creating awareness, and communicating the impact of the project, we ensure that students, staff, and the broader community understand both the environmental and educational value of this initiative. We also inform people about how solar energy works, why it matters, and how small changes can contribute to a more sustainable future. Our goal is not only to power our school with renewable energy, but also to inspire others to take action toward a cleaner, greener world.

Workshop title: The Give and Take

Workshop description

ASPinted is a student-led circular fashion platform dedicated to extending the lifecycle of textiles within the school community. By reframing "trash" as a resource, we have curated a collection of over 50+ donated pieces to launch a peer-to-peer resale and upcycling movement. Launched on March 4th, our digital marketplace aims to normalize second-hand consumption across all school divisions, proving that sustainable fashion is a viable, high-quality alternative to fast-fashion retail.

Workshop title: Linking to make a greater impact

Workshop description

Our project is to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Following a Ted talk at our middle school assembly regarding our facility's sustainability upgrades,we recognized a challenge that our school struggled with: food waste. To address this, we are launching a school garden that serves as a living laboratory. By integrating the garden into the lower school science curriculum, students will gain engaging, hands-on experience with ecosystems and soil health. The way that this garden battles food waste is by teaching students the hardship we put into growing produce. Finally, we will document our progress and findings on social media, sharing our local anecdotes and solutions to help inspire global action against food waste.
