A group of young Guyanese women aspiring to careers in leadership, public service and international affairs received a unique introduction to the world of diplomacy this week as part of activities marking the International Day for Women in Diplomacy.
The twelve participants, aged between 17 and 30, met with Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary-General Carla Barnett and senior officials at the CARICOM Secretariat on Tuesday, where they gained insights into diplomatic work, regional integration and opportunities available to young professionals within the Caribbean.
The visit formed part of the “Diplomat for a Day” initiative, a programme coordinated by The Imperial House in Guyana that allows young women to shadow ambassadors, high commissioners and other diplomatic representatives in an effort to encourage greater female participation in diplomacy and international relations.
