Happy Tuesday!
We hope you’re all doing well. For students in between IB1 and IB2, you may have quite a few things on your plate for this summer/ winter break: EEs, IAs, university application prep, and of course very necessary relaxation. If you want to escape the potential solitude of holiday work, join Community Slack to find like-minded, friendly IB students to chat to! We’ve got channels for every subject, hobbies, and support - with frequent study calls.🙌

✏️ Academic Team: EE Session
Our first IBlieve Community EE session was held on Tuesday, July 20th. For 4 hours, we had a balance of Pomodoro sessions, breaks, study music, and icebreakers! People came in and out, with 20 students at points. We got great feedback during and after the call. We plan to hold community work sessions 1-2x / month, and may even include IA and TOK work days. If you’d like to be encouraged to focus in a study group with IB students across the world, join Community Slack!

We’re super excited to also be spotlighting IBlieve community members and friends! This week we’re highlighting Eunoia Philippines and Artcade!

Eunoia Philippines is a youth-led, non-profit organization which hopes to be a connection between Filipino youth and various webinars, partnerships and other published materials.

🌟 Student Spotlight
We’re inviting new High School Ambassadors or IB graduates to write messages every week, so we can hear more student voices and IB experiences around the world. Today, we’ll hear from Estefy, one of IBlieve’s Social Leads!
Hi everyone!
I am Estefy, an upcoming year 2 student from Mexico. I am one of the social team leads, so I plan events for both the IBlieve team and community. I am so happy to be part of IBlieve, since it has given me the opportunity to know amazing people who have turn into my family.
They have encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone and try new things! They have also helped me to accomplish my goals. I am beyond grateful for them, and for that reason, I encourage you to hold your friends and family who have always supported you. They will help you to overcome any challenges you may face!
I wish you all the best, and remember that the IBlieve family is always open to you!
Estefy:)
