a global family in Turin
We are here to connect cultures, build friendships, and make every student feel at home.
Who We Are
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.
Our Approach
How We Make It Happen
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.
