First Human Resources meeting

The Human Resources committee of the GISS conference 4 sub-committees:

-the expert panel committee, which deals with researching, contacting and securing "motivational and informative" expert panel participants.
our six panels are: Amani- peace and reconciliation, Grassroots solutions, Art & social justice, HIV/AIDS, Conservation and Water.
-the student workshop committee, which organises the visiting schools' student workshops
-the sustainability teams committee, which organises the multiple student teams that facilitate dialogue and discussion, and that foster networking between students from different countries and schools.
-the Golden Hearts Scholarship program, which tends to the 17 students coming from local, non-international schools.

Being the student leader of this committee is a fresh experience for me: playing such a major role in the conference is so daunting, because I am aware that if our committee does something wrong, then there is the possibility that our mistake affects the whole conference negatively. On the positive side, however, we are in charge of the people attending and participating in the conference, which puts us into a very high position of power: we decide what goes, what doesn't, with our two main teachers, Mrs Lavender and Mrs Houriez.
