Given all that is transpiring in the Middle East and internationally, this is an incredibly exciting time to be discussing global affairs with potential future leaders of the most powerful nations on earth. After my experience at last year's Youth Summit in Vancouver, I can confidently state that the delegates selected for the event are some of the most accomplished, intelligent and well-read people I have ever met.
It is an honour for me to be among these fellow student leaders, as we seek to reach consensus and compromise on the most pressing issues facing the world community. Further, as a graduate of the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), I am pleased to announce that I will be blogging and Tweeting about my experiences for UTSC while at the Youth Summit in France. I hope to provide current and future students an inside perspective on negotiations, and encourage these students to aspire to achieve their full potential.
The Canadian Delegation has been actively meeting and preparing over the last two months in the lead-up to the Youth Summit, and I look forward to meeting each of them. Check out my article published in the Windsor Star based on my experiences at last year's Youth Summit. Bon voyage everyone! - R.O.
