Ambassador for a Day: Twelve winners demonstrate the huge potential of young girls in Lebanon
The British Embassy Beirut launched the Ambassador for a Day Lebanon competition in January this year [2023]. The competition was open to 15-18 year old girls across Lebanon and over 500 girls submitted entries on the International Women바카라 사이트s Day 2023 theme 바카라 사이트Embrace Equity바카라 사이트. The creativity, passion and potential in their applications was inspiring.
Twelve winners were selected. Each winner will be paired with an Ambassador and will spend a day shadowing the Ambassador in an unforgettable experience that aims to build confidence, leadership and diplomatic skills.

A huge thank you to the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the British Council, and to my fellow Ambassadors and Heads of Mission for supporting the initiative.
