As part of the international multifaceted educational experience at BISL, students have the opportunity to participate in a myriad of enriching events.
As part of our comprehensive, students are afforded exclusive opportunities to engage in international events, collaborate with professional performers, contribute to philanthropic endeavors, and partake in many additional enriching activities. Through these diverse experiences, BISL students not only broaden their perspectives but also cultivate invaluable skills, fostering personal and professional growth that transcends geographical boundaries.
The Make a Difference (MAD) after-school club at the British International School of Ljubljana (BISL) is all about inspiring students to give back and make a positive impact on their community. Through a partnership with Zveza prijateljev mladine, a respected local charity, the club helps support children and families in need by collecting essential items like food, clothing, and hygiene products.
Each month, the charity shares what they need, and the MAD club organizes activities to raise awareness and collect donations. These include fun campaigns, educational events, and challenges that involve the whole school. The BISL charity box, located at the school’s reception, is a central spot for people to drop off donations.
MUN Club"What makes the MAD club special is how it brings students together to work on a common goal. It teaches them about empathy, responsibility, teamwork, and the power of small actions to create big change."
In short, the MAD club is an important part of BISL’s focus on holistic education, helping students become compassionate, socially aware individuals ready to contribute to the world.

Model United Nations (MUN) simulations engage hundreds of thousands of students each year, helping them to learn more about the principles of the UN and how it functions. Many of today’s leaders in law, government, business and the arts – including at the UN itself – participated in Model UN as students. Participating students represent various countries, working to address global issues using their country's policies and perspectives.
