Enter our competition to be an Ambassador For A Day 2022
The British Embassy in Luxembourg invites Luxembourg students aged 14 to 17 to enter a competition to be an Ambassador for a Day
Ambassador For A Day activities
If you win the competition you will be invited to our Queen’s Birthday Party celebrations with your parent or legal guardian. Later in the year, you will be able to shadow our ambassador during a typical working day and learn about the work of an ambassador.
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, cultural, or personal identity, among others. Women are not represented at parity in political and business sectors.
To end this underrepresentation, we must ensure equality of opportunity and equitable outcomes for everyone.
This is why we are encouraging young people to make their voices heard on topics that affect us all. This is why we are opening the Ambassador For A Day 2022 competition to all genders.
We encourage young students to become leaders and advocates for change by offering them the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of the British Embassy in Luxembourg.
