From Farjana Shati the CUNY Youth Ambassador:
I was inspired at an even higher level on my second day participating at the YA. I was able to interact, engage, and listen to more youth delegates today. The atmosphere and vibe in the conference rooms was highly motivational. I reached the YA on time before Ms. Priya Joshi’s first session. (Priya Joshi is a member of the Global Education Monitoring, GEM, team.) This particular session I felt was especially empowering due to the two youth advocates’ panel session. The first panelist was a youth observer of 2017-2018 United Nation Association (UNA) in the USA. She is an undergraduate student and represents youth voices in the UNA-USA. I found her to be a role model for me and many young women.
I also attended the Campus Ambassadors Orientation & Panel (Session I). In this session, there were panelist from around the world. They spoke about their journey being the Campus Ambassadors and how they brought youth delegates from all round the world to participate in the youth assembly. I think this is something we can possibly implement at City Tech in years to come
