ISFiT - The International Student Festival in Trondheim, Norway is allegedly the world's largest student festival with a thematic emphasis.[citation needed] Approximately 450 students from all over the world attend the festival.[1] The themes change with each festival, but have always been related to social and political topics with international relevance.
The stated purpose of ISFiT is to be a meeting place for discussion and debate, an arena where ideas are born, friendships are made and valuable lessons are learned.[1] The festival aims at fostering inspiration and being a starting point for international cooperation amongst students. ISFiT is a non-profit festival.[1]
The ISFiT participants take part in different workshops, which highlight the festival theme in various ways. Several lectures and thematic meetings are arranged, where well-known international speakers share their views with the participants and others.
ISFiT has been arranged in Trondheim, Norway every second year since 1990. More than 450 students work voluntarily in order to organize the festival. The president for the festival in 2025 is Aurora Kolstad.
