Riju gives us an account of her unique experience as an Ambassador for Regents.
"Apart from the fruitful debates during Global Model UN - talking about Sustainable Cities and Societies, Slum Formation, and Responsible Consumption and Production - this year's focus areas, we actively participated countless workshops to develop next year's conference, whilst opening our eyes to the harsh realities of the world. The NAE-Student Summit was truly an opportunity of a lifetime as we witnessed real UN committees in session and understood the sentiments behind the "absolute" SDGs.
During the High-Level Political Forum, we were told that 'Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today.' which showed us the importance of the SDGs and the impact we can have on our community if we voice our concerns and take action as young leaders. Throughout our time at Regents we have tried to advocate for these Sustainable Development Goals, but we learned what it takes to implement them on an even bigger scale from UNICEF experts."
