International Student Conference 2025
“Innovating, Shaping, and Pioneering the Future of Learning: Empowering Youth Voices”
20-25 January 2025
Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR) in Indonesia this year is hosting the 10th International Student Conference (ISC) in collaboration with INU. In 2025, the conference will have the theme of “Innovating, Shaping, and Pioneering the Future of Learning: Empowering Youth Voices”.
About the ISC
International Student Conference (ISC) is an annual event that acts as a platform for international students from all over the world held by Parahyangan Catholic University which combines class-based activities in the form of workshops and lectures and field-based activities in the form of site visit and cultural activities.
Organized under the three main themes of inclusive, innovative, and sustainable education, the keynote lectures along with workshops are organized around specific interrelated sub-themes that build upon one another. By involving educators and key stakeholders from various fields, the ISC will give participants new insight into creating and implementing creative learning approaches as well as applicable actions.
The main objective of this conference is to inspire a reimagination of education systems that prioritizes innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability- enabling the youth to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
ISC 2025 will be larger than previously, as it will coincide with UNPAR’s 70th Dies Natalis, and feature collaborations with the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) and Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII). Additionally, the event will take place in two cities—Jakarta and Bandung—further enhancing its scale and impact. This collaboration and expanded venue will provide greater opportunities for participation and engagement, making the event even more dynamic and influential.
