Cannot wait to see you all at our forum tomorrow!!

On Saturday, May 13, HSIF will be holding our culminating debate. We will discuss the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement created in 2016 that aims to deepen economic ties between twelve countries bordering the Pacific Ocean and the United States of America. We will also suggest ideas for its redrafting. During our forum we will Skype with students from the American School in Japan to get their point of view on these issues. In addition, we will have a few moderators who have considerable experience in the field of international affairs present to guide us through the process.

We hope to have many attendees ready to debate the TPP and surrounding issues, and have a fruitful discussion!

Contact us for more information on how to attend!
