Student Initiative

The E K T A Round Square Conference is the result of a year-long student initiative, planned and executed entirely by students of Grades 8 and 9. From the very beginning, they took charge of everything—from designing the theme and itinerary to curating workshops and coordinating with delegates.

What makes E K T A stand out is that it is not just hosted by a school, but built meticulously by young leaders who balanced their academics while shaping an international platform for dialogue and collaboration.

LOGO & THEME

The heart of E K T A lies in the promotion of conflict resolution and peace. Through dialogue, reflection, and action, the Round Square IDEALS—Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service—will be explored in depth.

Our student team reimagined the E K T A identity to reflect what the conference stands for:

  • A dove at the centre symbolises peace carried forward through action.
  • The wreath frames collective growth—no one rises alone.
  • The Round Square ethos appears as a subtle backdrop, honouring our global network.
  • A warm, grounded palette reflects harmony between people and planet.
