Global Young Leaders Conference

Sarrah Saasa, studying in year 11 participated at the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC), in Washington D.C, United States, from the 11th to 18th July 2011.

Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) gives high-achieving students aged 15-18 a greater understanding of their roles as global ambassadors while analyzing concepts surrounding communications, diplomacy, law, human rights, peace, security, economics and the role of the United Nations. Students return home from GYLC with a greater understanding of their roles and responsibilities as citizens and future leaders in an international community.

Each session of the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) is designed to educate, inspire and motivate students by giving them the opportunity to explore cultural differences firsthand, absorb diplomatic skills daily, build confidence and enhance decision-making skills in an exciting atmosphere that is challenging and fun.
