ISFiT is short for the
“International Student Festival in Trondheim”. What the name does not
say, is that ISFiT is also the world’s largest international student
festival. ISFiT is arranged every other year, and each festival has a
theme related to social and political topics with international
relevance. The theme for ISFiT 2013 is global trade, and the festival is
held from the 7th to the 17th of February, in the city of Trondheim,
Norway. Here, over 450 students from all over the world gather to attend
17 different workshops and take part in the festivals culture program.
ISFiT is a non-profit organization and is brought to life with the
efforts of more than 400 student volunteers.
In addition to the workshops, ISFiT highlights the festival theme
through a vast cultural program consisting of concerts, plenary
sessions, art exhibitions, performing arts and ceremonies. The culture
program offers an extensive range of events for the visiting
participants, but is also available for the population of Trondheim.
ISFiT 2013’s vision is to create a better future for young people in
the world. By being a meeting place where people can discussion and
debate, ISFiT aims at fostering inspiration and being a starting point
