The origins of international education: the rise of international humanities

24 November 2024
The seeds of international education were sown in the ashes of WW1. A world weary of conflict sought ways to foster understanding and cooperation across borders. In 1924, amidst this yearning for peace, the International School of Geneva (Ecolint), the world's first international school, was founded on the principles of intercultural dialogue and global citizenship. Ecolint would become a crucible for a new kind of education – one that transcended national boundaries and aimed to cultivate a sense of shared humanity.

Guest speaker series

Discover the great line-up of guest speakers we will be hosting at the Centre des arts. In order to ensure that our students at La Grande Boissière never lose sight of the different reality that so many others in the world experience on a daily basis, we feel it is important to expose them to first hand testimony from people with personal stories that challenge their world view. All our conferences are public.
