 On behalf of the International Schools’ Association and Cempaka Schools, we regret to inform you that the 7th International Youth Leadership Seminar: Eradicating Poverty (June 29 - July 4, 2009) has been postponed indefinitely due to the increasing number of cases in Malaysia of the H1N1 Virus.
In order to circumvent the spread of the virus, the government of Malaysia is considering shutting down all schools in the near future. In light of the health risks in allowing students to travel from abroad as well as any potential interruption to the seminar’s scheduled activities, the ISA and Cempaka Schools have decided that to postpone the seminar would be the most appropriate course of action.  It is disappointing to be unable to welcome students to Malaysia and that the seminar will not take place as planned, however, due to the nature of these unforeseen circumstances, we find that it would be imprudent to proceed with the YLS.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and we hope that when the YLS is rescheduled, students will not hesitate to register their interest once again. Thank you for your kind understanding. The ISA Secretariat |

For a number of years the International Schools Association has been developing the above “Self-Study Guide”. With the collaboration and support of several international schools and of the Research Unit of the International Baccalaureate Organisation at Bath University, the “Guide” is now available for use.
The ISA hopes that the “Guide” will be seen and used as a constructive tool for all schools, national and international, public and private which wish to review and develop their sense of and engagement with internationalism.
Association Member Schools will be sent a free copy of the “Guide”. Non-Member schools will be able to purchase a copy of the “Guide” on-line for $20.00.
The ISA will be pleased to receive comments from users as we seek to build up a database about the “Guide” and its use.
Please see also associated information under the heading ISA Consultancy Services.
