This is a national competition aimed at educating young people in political affairs, issues and global conversations. It is a wonderful way to develop public speaking skills, educate youth and network with other like-minded people who share a passion for world events. Students were able to amend laws or negotiate threats to democracy, sovereignty and refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The students involved were: Elizabeth Shaju, Jacq Wigley, Jemma Campbell, Katherine Kerkhoffs, Charlotte Merrit, Jamie Moorh, Maddison Winks and Ally Espig. Special congratulations go to Ally Espig and Maddison Winks, the delegates of Estonia, who received first place in their chamber. They will fly to Brisbane to compete in the state finals later this year and we wish them the best of luck!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/spc-townsville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1.jpg\" alt=\"UN Youth delegates\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2021\/02\/UN-1-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Be the Difference\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Be the Difference is a nation-wide campaign which empowers girls to examine and evaluate the impact of challenges women face.
