What is Ambassador For A Day

Have you ever wondered what the day-to-day work of an Ambassador is like? The British Embassy in Armenia is launching a competition which will give the winner a unique opportunity to shadow the Ambassador to Armenia and learn about the work of an Ambassador and the British Embassy team. Committed to women empowerment in Armenia, we are focusing our competition on women and girls aged 18-22.

Why you should enter this competition

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. Today there are too few women in international diplomacy, including women from under-represented backgrounds, whether ethnic, religious, economic, or cultural, among others. Women are not equally represented in international diplomacy, domestic politics or in the areas of business.

This is why we are encouraging women to make their voices heard on topics that affect us all.

We encourage young students to become leaders and advocates for change by offering them an opportunity to experience diplomacy in action and to take a glimpse behind the scenes of the British Embassy in Yerevan.

Who can enter

You can enter this competition if you:

  • are a female citizen of Armenia
  • are aged 18 to 22 years old
  • have good command of English
  • are available to spend a full day of activities with the British Embassy staff on 14 March 2024

How to enter

To enter, submit a video of up to 2 minutes in English answering the following question: “What would you do if you were the Ambassador of the UK in Armenia?”

Important tips:
