The international Student's Congress is to be held in Christchurch from 6th—10th May and students who are interested in going should contact the Victoria Students' Association or the NOSAC Coordinator as soon as possible.

Below is a rough guide as to what to expect during the 4—5 days.

1: Forums and Discussions

These wide ranging topics will offer you opportunities to discuss and exchange your ideas with students of other nationalities from other centres.

2. Cultural Concert

The highlight of the whole congress. This is a great chance to enjoy an evening of culture-sharing—sketches, choir, action songs and dances will be presented. If you are interested in participating do contact us.

3. Overseas Speakers

It seems likely that we will be able to get Juliet Chin, former Vice-President of USSU and political detainee in Singapore to speak during the week.

4. Two Get-Togethers

To enable you to mix with students from other centres and get to know each other better. Learn folk-dancing, join in sing-alongs, and watch other centres present their informal performances. Should be a great evening.

The last one held at last year's ISC in Wellington was so good that nobody felt like going home.

5. Other Attractions

Sightseeing and touring around Christchurch, so if you haven't been there before this will be a great chance to have a look around. There will be a friendly afternoon of sports, so you can relax after the discussion sessions with friendly matches.

There are many things to be learnt and to experience during the ISC, so don't miss this chance. As this is an International Students Congress, all nationalities plus New Zealanders are welcome to join in.

The 4—5 days in Christchurch (lodging and food included) will cost around $13. Travel arrangements are being made now. We will endeavour to make things as cheap as possible and hopefully we can arrange travel subsidies from the Students' Association to assist you.

So make an attempt to come to Christchurch. Make these May holidays a memorable occasion.
