As part of Nord Anglia Education’s collaboration with UNICEF, student ambassadors from our family of schools around the world will visit New York in just a few weeks from 6-13 July to demonstrate how our schools are working to meet the United Nation’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development, including through the annual Global Challenge.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 goals set by the United Nations regarding social and economic development issues. The idea is for nations to tackle all of these goals by 2030 to make the world a better place with the help of citizens and companies.
UNICEF is challenging students at Nord Anglia Education to raise awareness of the goals and to work with their local communities to create solutions. This year, students and their schools are working in particular on meeting these goals:
Student ambassadors from different Nord Anglia Education schools have been invited by UNICEF to meet in New York to move the needle on the Global Goals. They will join workshops, seminars and debates, including speaking opportunities at the UN’s High Level Political Forum, a Model United Nations (around issues within the Global Goals) and events at the UN Headquarters in New York City. Students will be able to share about their school’s progress and generate even more ideas for tackling the goals, as well as seeing some of New York in person!
In March we launched our search for our 2018 BIS HCMC Ambassadors. To become an Ambassador, students were required to have strong communication, diplomacy, and debating skills, and demonstrate significant contributions to the community, MUN, or global issues groups here at BIS HCMC. These students will be representing the entire BIS HCMC community so we went through a rigorous process in order to make our selection.
We selected three incredible students as our BIS HCMC Ambassadors and we are already very proud of them. These students are Doan Nguyen (Year 12), Vy Nguyen (Year 11) and Ashley Lee (Year 10). Click here to find out more about each of our ambassadors.
For students who are interested in joining next year’s event, please speak with a teacher at your school or with your Global Goals leader!
