I have been given a deadline of the 23rd of June to nominate three people who I believe would be suitable to take part in the Transatlantic Network event in Ireland at the end of September this year. We are looking for young people from different social, cultural and political backgrounds.
I wrote a blog previously about my involvement in setting up the network alongside 30 other young leaders from across North America and Europe at Berlin earlier this year. The intention is to encourage greater links between young people in Europe and North America, and to break down barriers that have arisen over recent years. I was privileged to be part of the initial group to set up this scheme, looking at how we can enhance links between those who will be the leaders of the future- in all walks of life- from business leaders, to those in the political World, the environment and so on.
I had planned to approach the media in Wales to see if they would have an interest in helping me in my quest to nominate three people to take part in this exciting venture, but time is now short and it will not be possible. If you would like to take part in the scheme, please email me on bethan.jenkins@wales.gov.uk so that I can send you a form to complete. There is no guarantee that my suggestions of people for the network will be accepted, but at least I can try!
There is more information on this on the British Council website. The name of the network is TN2020.
