We are here to connect cultures, build friendships, and make every student feel at home.
We are ISOT — an international student community based in the vibrant city of Turin. Founded by students who once felt the same excitement and uncertainty of arriving in a new country, ISOT was built to make that journey easier for others. Our community is a space where people from all cultures, languages, and backgrounds come together to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re looking for friendship, cultural experiences, or professional growth, ISOT is here to walk beside you every step of the way.
We believe in the power of connection — not just socially, but emotionally and intellectually. That’s why we organize everything from casual meetups and language exchange nights to career workshops, city tours, and multicultural celebrations. What makes ISOT special isn’t just what we do — it’s how we do it: with heart, openness, and a shared belief that diversity makes us stronger. Here, you’re not just a student. You’re part of a family.
At ISOT, we believe that meaningful change starts with human connection. Our approach is built on inclusion, empathy, and action. We listen to the needs of international students and respond with real, practical solutions — from organizing cultural events and support sessions, to creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and inspired.
We don’t just host activities — we build bridges between cultures, communities, and individuals. Every program we design is rooted in collaboration and shaped by student voices. Our goal isn’t just to help students adapt — it’s to help them thrive.
We create a welcoming space where international students in Turin can connect, grow, and feel at home — culturally, socially, and professionally.
To become the heart of international student life in Turin — a vibrant, inclusive, and empowering global community.
ISOT started with one small event and a big dream: to turn strangers into friends and make every student’s journey in Turin meaningful.
ISOT is an international student non-profit organization in Turin led by President Amirhossein Shokouhipour and dedicated student leaders. All membership contributions (€10/yr) and community support funds directly power student welfare, welcome kits, and multicultural programs.
