The International Student Leadership Institute.
We encourage young adults to become tomorrow’s leaders.
The International Student Leadership Institute (ISLI) fosters cross-cultural collaboration.
Each year our institute hosts over 150 high school students from across Europe. We focus on leadership development within an inspiring and inclusive environment.
At ISLI, students learn from their peers, creating a dynamic experience.
We have been changing the world. And we will continue.
The next International Student Leadership Institute will take place from February 23rd to 28th 2025. The Board of Regents have started preparing ISLI, both offline and online.
ISLI 2025 is in progress.
Generation after generation, leaders are shaped in Oberwesel.
ISLI was founded in 1982 by the United States Department of Defense Schools (DoDDS) with the intention to provide training to students. Throughout the years, ISLI has become an institute where representatives from Europe and the USA gather to learn about leadership.
