Student Leadership Conference 2019

În acest an, tema noastră este "Pregătită să conducă", cu accent pe Efeseni 2:10. Reprezentanții plenari oferă predare în cadrul sesiunilor principale urmate de grupuri de discuții pentru studenți, 3 sesiuni de workshop care se concentrează pe aplicarea de leadership și o mulțime de timp pentru interacțiune și distracție într-un cadru frumos și confortabil. Aceasta este o ocazie unică pentru elevii secundari de a-și dezvolta credința și abilitățile de conducere, precum și părtășia și închinarea împreună cu tinerii care au aceeași minte din mai multe națiuni.

Locul de desfășurare al conferinței pentru anul 2019 va fi la un centru de miniștri creștini din Vajta, Ungaria. ACSI va oferi 2 date de conferințe care să corespundă disponibilității și preferințelor școlii. Vom face tot posibilul pentru a asigura un echilibru bun între școlile din Europa de Est și Europa de Vest, precum și între școlile naționale și internaționale. Rețineți că este posibil ca spațiul să nu fie disponibil pentru grupul dvs. pe datele preferate, din cauza cererii mari, așa că ÎNREGISTREAZĂ-TE!

SLC now runs the same program in 2 consecutive weeks.

The conference begins with check-in on Wednesday, from 2:00-5:00 pm. Dinner begins at 5:00 pm followed by the evening program and activities. The conference will end with the evening session on Friday. Register and pay by June 15 to receive the early registration discount. Registration closes on September 9.

New Program for Middle School:
This year we are opening SLC for younger students to attend while ensuring that the experience for the upper grades is of the same quality and depth. The number of younger students at each event will be limited and provide separate activities, workshops and discussion groups designed specifically for their needs, introducing them to the foundations of biblical leadership and the character qualities on which to build. Space is limited for this program!

We ask that any school sending students for this program provide a chaperone dedicated to this group. We also provide training for your older students who want to work and lead activities and discussions with the younger students. High school students who want to serve in this program will need to register for training here.

Student Selection:
It is very important to begin your student selection well in advance. Please consider now how this will be done so that it most benefits your students and your school as a whole. 

The graduated pricing serves to encourage schools to think about selecting students early so that they will be better prepared for this event.  We have many ideas for helping you prepare your students for SLC, many of which are available in the document "SLC Description & Guide". We want each student to get the most out of this event, which can only happen with your excellent support, teaching and prayer. NOTE: We require contact information for student discussion leaders because they must participate in a short online training course BEFORE the conference (more information available in the Preparation Guide).

Keynote Speakers:

Estuardo Salazar - About 40 years ago Estuardo was expelled from the Christian school where he was a troublesome senior. His wild behavior combined with flawless academic performance earned him both the highest academic honors and the toughest disciplinary actions. Shortly after expulsion, everything He had learned about Jesus and the Bible made sense and he surrendered his life to God. After going to Bible college and serve as Bible teacher in the same school that expelled him, He became the first ACSI International director heading an office outside of North America in 1990, currently serving hundreds of Christian schools in Mexico, Central, South America and the Caribbean. He holds an M.Ed in Educational Leadership from Regent University (Virginia, USA) and he is a doctoral candidate in Organizational Leadership at St. Paul University in Guatemala City where he and his wife Sheny live.

Frank Cirone is originally from Rhinebeck, New York and attended Capernwray Hall in England and Holsby in Sweden. Frank graduated from Philadelphia Biblical University with a BS in Biblical Education in 1989 prior to joining the staff at Ravencrest Chalet in Estes Park, Colorado. He holds a Master’s Degree in Christian Leadership from Denver Seminary. Frank and his wife, Krista, have four grown children: Andrew, Ben, Isaak and Anikka. Frank is passionate about sharing Christ in any setting and loves connecting with people for coffee. Frank spends time traveling and speaking at various events in the United States and overseas and always enjoys adventuring in the Rocky Mountains, especially with Krista.
