GCSY brings a select group of international youth scholars and faculty to the Harvard University Faculty Club. During the week-long program, participants investigate the idea of global citizenship and the themes of freedom and fairness in the world today. The program will serve as a springboard for ideas and collaboration in the year to come.

The program is for 12-24 rising junior and senior high school students ages 16-18 who are prepared to grapple with pressing global issues. The students will be:

• A globally diverse student body in terms of geography (with domestic & global reach), socio-economic background, religion, gender, and personal talents
• Multilingual, with English as one of the languages
• Eager to engage and have fun with the broader group during the program, and to share the experience with the wider community
• Immersed in a rigorous academic program for intellectually curious and engaged young minds
• Chaperoned by U.S. college and graduate student proctors who will guide and coach the students (one proctor for every four young scholars)

This year’s GCSY will take place August 2-9. Applications are due by March 1. For more details go to http://globalci.org/gc-summit
