One Voice Summit

• What is a workshop?

Students are invited to run an interactive workshop on the Saturday. Workshops should be an interactive activity (note, not a presentation) on an issue of importance, or a global problem designed to fire our students up! You may want to link your workshop to one of the main themes of the conference (AI for Social Change, or Responsible Consumption and Production) but this is by no means necessary. It can simply be on something your team deem to be of importance or interest.

• What is a lightbulb session?

Lightbulb sessions are informative educational sessions, relevant to the the respective theme of the day, run by the Dulwich OneVoice team that will have planned these sessions thoroughly to make them educational, inspiring, and interactive. [here we would like to include some photos labelled 'lightbulb' below.

• What is the marketplace?

The summit has time set aside for our inter-school Marketplace. Each school will be given a station around the room where they can share posters, flyers and photos to celebrate a couple of service projects that they have been working on. It may be that your school just shares one service project that they are most passionate about, but it may be that you and your classmates want to share 3 or 4 (it’s probably best not to share any more than that). You should be prepared to talk openly and enthusiastically about the inspiration for the project, the planning and research that went into it, as well as the action that took place. The idea is to inspire other students who may want to start a similar project at their school. This is a really important aspect of the summit as we are keen to give all students a platform to share their voices and to promote what is important to them. These conversations may help build our community or change-makers and may even result in cross-school collaborative projects. 

• Who can come to One Voice?

One Voice is open to any student in Year 10 (Grade 9) and above. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate younger students. Schools are limited to 10 places each. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about this limit. 

• Can I come for only one day?

The One Voice Summit takes place over two days and is designed to be a whole, continuous experience. Participants form communities within their Lightbulb groups, which consist of students from various schools. In order to maximise the impact of the Summit, it is important that all students attend both days. 

• What is the dress code?

Dress code is casual. However, please note that the summit takes place during school hours, while other members of our school community are on campus and dressed in formal uniform. As such, we request that clothing is kept modest and functional. 

• What is the deadline for signups?

Tuesday 5 November is the last day for signups. Here is the one-stop form which will ask for participants names and dietary requirements, details of supervising teachers, and for a blurb about the workshop you are planning to run (if applicable).

• How much does it cost to attend One Voice?

Cost per participant is 300 RMB. This includes snacks, lunch and dinner on Friday, and snacks and lunch on Saturday. Please note that we do not make a profit on One Voice and the participation fee only covers costs.

• How do I pay for One Voice?

We will provide you with a Yoopay link to pay the participant fee once you have finalized your signups. 

• How do you keep participants safe?

Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong has a strict child safeguarding policy. All student participants and teacher supervisors will be required to wear lanyards on campus and we ask that teachers refrain from taking photographs of the participants for personal use. We will have a professional photographer at selected events.
