About the Conference

The conference was designed to challenge delegates to think critically about what they believe and to be open to discussions and workshops.

The Round Square Student Committee at Herlufsholm did a lot of thinking about what they wanted from this conference, and they encouraged students from all over the region, to discuss issues surround trustworthiness, who we listen to and social media.

Behind these keywords are some Essential Questions:

• How do we figure out who we can trust?
• When should you listen to yourself and when should you listen to others?
• How do you get better at listening to yourself?
• How much should you share on SOME?
• When and how do you go against the current? How do we learn to go our own ways and figure out who to listen to?
• And where do we go – with what we know and what we learn?
