A very warm welcome to the 7th International Student Leadership Conference 2013 which sees students attending from Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan as well as based delegates from international schools with Indian, American, Canadian, Venezuelan and Chinese nationalities. There are of course many students also attending from local Hong Kong government schools to provide a truly international context.

The lead up to this conference has been challenging with our website crashing temporarily due to malware and an unexpected Hong Kong postal error, to name but two. There is a sense of achievement and triumph in finding solutions to or overcoming setbacks, however daunting at the time. It is facing these challenges with calm determination and a steely resolve which young leaders need to show in their leadership journey.

This year’s conference explores the conflict between Big Business and a tribal community and requires students to apply their critical and creative thinking skills in a very different context; namely: the Niyamgiri Hills, Orissa India. Cognizant of the fact that the world is now a much smaller place, that we live in a global village and that we find ourselves increasingly in situational contexts which are different from our own, it is important for young leaders to develop a sense of internationalism. The presentation task is layered, complex, multi- dimensional, and designed to challenge our brightest minds and cater to a range of learning styles. We look forward to seeing the depth of creativity and understanding in the solutions presented by students during the presentations on the final day of the conference.

We have a well credentialed array of guest speakers and presenters for this conference, an exciting and fun Trashion Show planned for Orientation Day as well as some time devoted to socializing over dinner and sight-seeing at the Avenue of Stars watching the Hong Kong Harbor Laser Show. We trust that you will question and challenge the guest speakers in the best traditions of rational discourse and hope that you will find some time to get to know one another and build some lasting friendships.

Trashion Show

In the glittering city of Hong Kong, waste is a serious environmental issue. We produce 6.4 million tonnes of waste annually. In just 2 years, our existing landfills are expected to be full. To combat this issue, delegates will participate in the inaugural ISLC Trashion Show. You will be assigned groups and given 2.5 hours and a Trashion Kit to create an environmentally themed costume per group. Each group’s costume will then be presented on a catwalk. Assistance such as make up and audio-visual effects will be provided to spice up your presentations.

This is primarily a team-building exercise where delegates will focus on co-operation, collaboration and trust.

History of the ISLC

I was first contacted by a principal from a consortium of schools in the Wiltshire district, United Kingdom, in January 2007 and asked whether King George V School (KGV) would be interested in hosting a leadership conference for more able students. As the Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator at KGV, I was looking for opportunities to extend our more able students and develop internationalism at our school. After forming an organising committee we planned for nine months and in November, schools arrived from Australia and the UK for the conference. Teachers from the Wiltshire consortium delivered the curriculum programme, while KGV made all the administrative arrangements to ensure the overall success.

While the conference was a learning experience, I felt there were a variety of curricular approaches which may prove more productive for the students. It was then that I began to develop a leadership model of my own predominantly based on three foundational elements: intercultural consciousness, leadership theory and skills, and the development of student voice. After writing an academic paper outlining this model, I was invited by the Hong Kong Education Bureau to speak at their United Kingdom: Hong Kong Gifted and Talented Conference, From Gifted to Great, March 5th- 7th 2008. The paper delivered was entitled Leadership Education: A Frames of Reference Paradigm. Later that year, I delivered a revised edition of the model at the 10th Asia Pacific Gifted Education Conference July 14th to 18th 2008, Nanyang Technological University, National Institute of Education.

In October 2008, I finally had the opportunity to trial the theory of my model in Bristol, UK, when The Riding School, a case study International Baccalaureate School, volunteered to host the conference. Twenty KGV students journeyed to Bristol to attend the conference which proved to be an outstanding success. I was inspired by the fact that parents of students from The Ridings School rang the principal commenting that it was one of the best educational experiences their children had ever had. Further to this, it was very obvious to all that the learning, confidence and friendship that students experienced in the conference programme, was special. It was clear to me then that ISLC was something I wanted to develop independently in a private capacity.

In December 2008, I formed Gifted Leadership Services Limited Company with an office in Central, Hong Kong, with myself as Director, and Mrs. Vandana Gupta as Co-Director. I am genuinely committed to developing the program in a dynamic manner underscored and driven by student voice, a culture of openness and risk taking. It is deeply satisfying to see students from disparate ethnic back-grounds come together, attempt to solve global problems and forge lasting friendships in the process. Moving from global issues like carbon reduction and water scarcity, we are very excited to focus this year on developing critical and creative leadership skills as students grapple with the conflict between Big Business and the plight of a particular tribal community and their environment.

Michael Ho, Head Boy Mentor I was born in Hong Kong and have lived here my entire life. I currently study at King George V School as a Year 12 student and this will be my third year with ISLC. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf and football while traveling and learning about new things are also other interests of mine.

Candace Lau, Head Girl Mentor I was born and raised in Canada for the first five years of my life; but growing up in a comparatively more traditional Chinese family, my cultural identity is much like that of Hong Kong. Living in this city where East has met West for over a decade, I am fluent in both the local as well as English so please don’t hesitate to ask me for help around this bustling city. My interests vary widely, from following dozens of baking blogs to playing badminton in my spare time. I also am someone who enjoys travelling around the world and will always be ready with an anecdote about my travels in Egypt, Jordan, Austria, France, Mongolia and Bhutan to name a few. This love for experiencing different cultures is what inspired me to join ISLC in the first place – and I hope you all have an experience as great as the one I had as a delegate!

Albert Zhang, Deputy Head Boy Mentor As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Man! That was a good taco!” Too often do we stereotype leaders as people who always do extraordinary things. But do not be intimidated by their deep, intellectual speeches, because leaders are only normal people, like you and me, who have pursued what they believed. So don't be afraid; don't let the pressure of being 'great' as a leader cloud your dreams and your individualism. My name is Albert Zhang; I am Chinese; I have an awkward combination of passions in art and math, technology and debating. I wish you an ISLC experience that is more enlightening and enjoyable than it has ever been, and I hope to uphold the high standard of being a mentor in this prestigious conference.

Grace Chen, Deputy Girl Mentor Hi there! I’m Grace, born and bred in Hong Kong… with some very prominent mainland roots. I’ve lived here for the majority of my life, and hence know it quite well – if you have any questions, feel free to ask! I’m a complete music nerd, and play the piano as my main instrument, but I can also play a variety of other stringed instruments such as the violin and guitar. Apart from music, I also enjoy playing volleyball, debating, and reading and writing, as well as participating in various extra- curricular activities. I hope you have a great time at this year’s ISLC and I look forward to meeting you all soon! ISLC Staff—Mentors

Claudia Chung Hey folks! I’m Claudia, a girl who was born in Hong Kong and has lived here all her life. I am passionate about both dancing and acting, especially when I have opportunities to perform on stage. I also enjoy hiking with family and friends on weekends just to appreciate the beauty of the environment and species and to escape from the urban concrete jungle. I always believe that we have the ability to improve our society. I am going to study medicine physiology and therapeutics in university and will pursuit a career on this field. I want to contribute to our society, and to create a better world. This was why I joined the ISLC last year as a delegate and came back this year as a mentor. I look forward to meeting you all and I hope you enjoy the five days of this conference!

Chris Wan I was born in Vancouver, Canada but soon moved to Hong Kong when I was just one month old. Although I grew up in Hong Kong, Cantonese cannot be considered my mother tongue. I like both rowing and ice hockey, while my hobbies are building models and photography, which I enjoy passionately. Last year I attended ISLC as a delegate and was delighted with the remarkable experience I had. I look forward to meeting you all in this year's conference and hope that it will give you a rewarding experience.

Victoria Clement Hi! I’m Victoria but you can call me Vicki. I’m half Welsh and half Chinese, but I’ve lived in Hong Kong since moving away from the Cayman Islands where I spent my childhood. I love travelling and shopping in my spare time , so if there’s anywhere you want to go in Hong Kong, I’ll be happy to bring you there! This is my first year as a mentor in ISLC, and I have decided to return as a mentor because I love meeting new people from around the world! It is truly inspiring to meet people from different cultures and gain a new insight on their perspectives about current global issues that affect us all.

Jamie So Hey, it's Jamie! I moved from Vancouver to Hong Kong in 2008, so you can say Hong Kong is my second home! I've grown to love this city and the people from living here for five years. I have a passion for exploring delicious eateries around town! If you are searching for the right place to eat yummy food, I’d be more than happy to recommend my favourite restaurants to you!

What brought me back to ISLC is the people, and I'm very excited to meet new friends from across the globe! It is truly enriching to meet people of different cultures and gain an insight into different perspectives of others. ISLC Staff—Mentors

Angelo Wong Salutations, fellow friends from the far-flung corners of the globe. Did you perchance discern a deeper meaning behind the fricative alliteration of “f” in the previous sentence? I, most unfortunately, did not. I am Angelo, and I hope that just from that you will have deduced my astronomical love for language in general. More than that, however, I also partake in the intellectual experience that is Dr. Pepper, and possess a connoisseur’s fascination with the artistic media known to most humans as “video games” and “anime”.

Now enough of that pretentious polysyllabic sesquipedalian nonsense. Aside from language (and literature!) I also happen to love science and maths and, really, anything that I can learn. As they say, knowledge is power; and it may seem to you that I am trying to become the most powerful man on the planet. Have no fear. With great power comes great responsibility, after all; and this week I’ll be the most responsible mentor this program has ever known and lead you, my chosen stakeholder group, to a triumphant victory entirely brought about by your brains and your wits and your brawn. This will be a week of knowledge gained and friends made and experience earned. Have fun.

Simran Sajhwani Never had I ever imagined I would be a mentor for the ISLC. I remember joining the conference as a delegate last year. At first, I wondered how exactly I was going to meet all these new people whom I had never seen before; but as soon as I entered the building I met a person who was really friendly and made me feel comfortable. After the ISLC week last year, I immediately knew I wanted to be a mentor so that I could view the conference from a different perspective. I am interested in meeting new people, travelling, and simply living life. I would like to be a lawyer or a pilot when I grow up as it is something unique. My suggestion to anyone and everyone would be to do what you want and give it your all as, to be honest, in life there are rarely any second chances.

Page 14 The Presentation Task

The Scenario: Tribals and the Bauxite Mine

Large deposits of bauxite, the raw material of aluminum, have been found in the mountains near a village in the Niyamgiri Hills in the Orissa state, India, and two companies have emerged as the favourites to win the contract tender: Alcoa Incorporated and Hindalco Industries Limited. The village, which is two hours from the nearest town, is inhabited by a primitive tribal community, the Dongria Kondh, who have worshipped the mountain god for centuries, live within the ecology of the region, and depend on the river for fish and irrigation for their crops, such as rice. Work and religious customs revolve around the land, the river, and the forests, which have provided the tribal villagers with exotic fruit and game.

The mining companies want to build a mine upstream and a refinery downstream near the plains and have applied for a license. The National Mining Licensing Association of India (NMLAI) will hear representations from a range of stakeholders and will subsequently make recommendations to the government for a 20-year lease. The stakeholder groups include the tribal elders, mining companies both local and international, an environmental watch group, an animal rights group, a human rights group, a political party, and a group representing the aluminum lobby.

Proponents consider the execution of the project to be important for the economic development of the State, while opponents are concerned by the possible disenfranchisement and dispossession of the tribals and the damage to the environment.

TASK 1: In your stakeholder groups, draw the landscape of the village, mountain and proposed mine using A3 paper.

1. Alcoa Incorporated 2. Hinalco 3. The Aluminum Association of India (AAI) 4. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 5. Survival International 6. Tribal Elders: The Dongria Kondh 7. International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 8. Born Free Foundation (BFF) The Presentation Task

The Presentation Task

Adopt the role of your stakeholder group, and prepare a 15 minute presentation plus 5 additional minutes of questions without warning from the floor. Your presentation will be delivered to the National Mining Licensing Association of India and will aim to persuade the NMLAI to make a decision aligned with your particular solution and point of view.

Requirements As part of your presentation, you will need to:

1. Draw the landscape of the village, mountain, and proposed mine and refinery on A3 paper and submit this to the judges prior to the presentation. 2. Include a hard copy A4 one-sided summary/conceptual flyer explaining your stakeholder position. This flyer, which must be graphic plus text, is to be given to the NMLAI prior to the presentation. 3. Identify the various roles each person in the group will adopt, such as Mining Engineer, Environmental Consultant, Anthropologist, Media Consultant, Financial Advisor, or Logistics Coordinator to name a few. 4. Make use of appropriate programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, InDesign, Flash, Google Earth, SketchUp, Microsoft Publisher, and PowerPoint, to name a few.

Presentation Guidelines In the process of completing your research and preparation for the presentation, you will need to consider the following points:

1. How will you assess the environmental and socio-cultural impact of constructing a mine in the area? 2. How reliable are your sources given the partiality of knowledge on official organisational websites? 3. What is the quality of the incentives promised by the mining companies, and do they address local needs? 4. What research would you need to do in order to refute the counterarguments of other stakeholder groups?

Hong Kong's location on the south coast of China dictates a humid subtropical climate. Summer is usually hot and humid with occasional rain and squally thunderstorms. Accurate day-by-day forecasts of the weather in Hong Kong are also available at the Hong Kong Observatory Government website.

All delegates are advised to bring umbrellas and sunscreen for the GLS half-day evening excursion and independently organized sight-seeing trips. Delegates can also purchase these items in shops such as Mannings, Wellcome and PARK n SHOP which are conveniently located throughout Hong Kong.

During the conference, delegates should wear smart casual: trousers and shirt with tie (optional) for boys and skirt and blouse or dress for girls. School uniform is not required and no jeans please.
