What is Ambassador For A Day
Have you ever wondered what the day-to-day work of an Ambassador is like? This competition will give the winner the unique opportunity to shadow the Ambassador to North Macedonia in the week of International Women’s Day and learn about the work of an Ambassador and other diplomacy leaders.
Why you should enter this competition
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. Today there are too few women in international diplomacy, including women from under-represented backgrounds, whether ethnic, religious, economic, cultural, or personal identity, among others. Women are not represented at parity in political and business sectors.
To end this underrepresentation, we must ensure equality of opportunity and equitable outcomes for everyone. This is why we are encouraging women to make their voices heard on topics that affect us all.
We encourage young students to become leaders and advocates for change by offering them the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of the British Embassy in Skopje.
