Winners’ Circle from the 55th OAS General Assembly School Tour Witness Diplomacy Firsthand
The Winners’ Circle from the 55th OAS General Assembly School Tour had the unique opportunity to witness diplomacy in action.
Attending as special guests of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. E.P. Chet Greene, the students were formally recognized during the opening ceremony of the 55th Regular Session of the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly.
In addition to their recognition, the students had the privilege of meeting Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne, Senator Michael Freeland, and several other dignitaries and leaders from across the region. This immersive experience gave the students a rare and invaluable glimpse into international diplomacy and regional cooperation.
Minister Greene emphasized the importance of youth involvement in diplomacy, stating that, “Initiatives like these are only the beginning it starts at this level. When we expose young minds to the workings of international relations, we are not just educating them; we are empowering them to take their place on the global stage.
These students represent the future of our nation’s leadership and diplomacy. It is our responsibility to provide them with opportunities to grow, learn, and lead.”
He further added, “We will continue to invest in programs that connect our youth with national and international institutions because real change begins with informed, inspired young people. The next generation must be equipped to carry the torch forward.”
The tour left a lasting impression on the students, many of whom expressed a newfound appreciation for diplomacy and public service. Experiences like this not only broaden horizons but help build the leaders of tomorrow today.
