IBSC 15th Annual Conference Archive
New Worlds for Boys: 15th Annual IBSC Conference, June 22-25,
2008, Toronto, Canada
The 15th annual IBSC conference was a great success!
Nearly 500 delegates gathered at Upper Canada College in Toronto, Canada,
from June 22-25, 2008. We travelled to Toronto from South Africa, New
Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, China, Spain, the United States,
and Canada.
A collaborative planning effort of seven Toronto
IBSC schools, New Worlds for Boys inspired delegates to envision
dynamic ways to prepare boys for new worlds. Boys need to be Global
Boys, at home in a world of fast-paced globalisation and diversity.
They need to be Green Boys, ready to care for the environment
and tackle the challenges of climate change. They must become Just
Boys, whose moral compass - integrity, caring, citizenship - will
guide them steadfastly through a lifetime of change. Our work with them
should promote Inquiring, Creative Boys, who can think creatively
to solve the problems the future will bring.
