To encourage young girls to become leaders and promote change, the British Embassy in Beirut is launching the "Ambassador for A Day" competition, where winners can accompany an Ambassador in Lebanon for one day.
The competition's theme revolves around "Embrace Equity," which is the theme of this year's International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8, 2023.
Girls in Lebanon aged 15 to 18 years old and not at university are eligible to enter the competition, which is opened until February 9, 2023.
The winners will be invited as Guests of Honor to the British Embassy in Beirut and paired with an Ambassador in Lebanon to spend a day with them and their Embassy and build essential skills in diplomacy, confidence, and leadership.
To enter, the participants should submit either a video or a short essay in English or Arabic answering the question: “If you were ambassador for a day, what is one step you would take to help create a fair and equal society?”
