About the ISFiT 2027

ISFiT is the world's largest international student festival. Every two years, students from across the world gather to explore pressing global issues through dialogue, workshops, debates, art, and music. From 11 to 21 February 2027, ISFiT will transform Trondheim into a global meeting place for students, ideas, and cultural exchange.

The subject for ISFiT 2027 is Changing Winds. It is an invitation to reflect on a world shaped by political change, climate challenges, and shifting global realities, and on the role young people play in navigating and shaping the future.

The festival creates opportunities for meaningful connections, new perspectives, and conversations across cultures.
