The
Global Young Leaders Conference 2017
Students
are nominated to participate as a Global Scholar representing Canada at the
Global Young Leaders Conference. The
conference requires students with strong leadership potential and high academic
excellence. It is open to all students
who will be between 15 – 18 years old in July 2017.
In
Washington DC, students will visit international embassies, participate in
Global Issues Workshops, and study the art of cross-cultural
communication. In New York City, they
will engage with a United Nations speaker, draft policy proposals, debate
issues, and work to pass resolutions, all of which will culminate in the Global
Summit simulation, which may be held at the United Nations Headquarters.
This
conference is a great opportunity to expand a student`s cultural awareness and
cultivate their inherent leadership skills as they interact with students from
more than 145 countries. Students will form new ideas and new ways of thinking
by participating in simulations that challenge them to look at ongoing world
issues from varying points of view.
A few
students from OT have attended this conference in the past and have found it to
be an amazing experience. By attending the conference, students may
also receive a college credit through George Mason University.
