ISFiT ( (“International Student Festival in Trondheim”) is 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.
Theme: “Global Trade” — ISFiT 2013 has defined global trade as legal and illegal exchange of goods, services, labour, capital and financial instruments. By this definition, international trade encompasses issues that are both the reason for, and the consequence of, such exchanges. We will discuss solutions to issues of international trade in a long-term perspective.
