Presidential election ISFiT 2021

ISFiT has established itself in Trondheim and around the world a forum for the discussion of socio-political themes of global significance. At the election, each candidate will present their theme for ISFiT 2021. The festival itself brings together 500 students from over 150 countries for eleven days of workshops, debates, cultural events and networking.

Behind these 500 students from all over the world, there are another 500 student volunteers based here in Trondheim. For these volunteers, the months and years of work put into building the festival are just as important as the festival itself. Each festival is built from the ground up, giving its volunteers the opportunity for change and innovation. The President is responsible for leading this growth.
