FOBISIA Race4Good 2021 – Team DBIS Years 9-12
Dear Parents,
I would like to introduce a fantastic opportunity which I strongly encourage any interested students to participate in.
The FOBISIA Race4Good programme is led by frontline humanitarian and leadership expert – Linda Cruse. This highly regarded Leadership and Entrepreneurship programme aims to develop the young leaders of tomorrow through solving real-world problems. During this programme, student will work together as a team and compete against other schools to uplift lives in a real, remote community in Nepal.
The programme will run between Monday 1st March – Friday 2nd April and is a knock-out competition between 15 teams within an International Schools League. This year the organisers have made considerable efforts to ensure that the event will take place entirely online.
