About the club
“A forum creates a moment.
Students give that moment a future.”
The International Humanities Forum is a student-founded club bringing together secondary-school students to develop and share ideas in philosophy, psychology, education, society, culture, and the wider humanities.
Members organize forums, support student speakers, publish recorded talks, and create space for thoughtful discussion across schools. The archive preserves the voices on stage while the publication gives more students a place to develop their thinking through writing, editing, and exchange.
Student founding team
Founder profiles will appear only after confirmation.
Names, schools, roles, photographs, and biographies will be added after the students and their families approve publication.
