Rotary Youth Leadership Competition – This competition is one of our longest running youth projects and it rewards young people with clear leadership potential based on their extra-curricular activities. Last year we reviewed the format of the competition and we will keep this programme for the coming school year. Winners will visit Belfast and meet with local political, business and charity leaders, then we travel to Dublin for further meetings with leaders and then the highlight of the trip will be to debate a variety of motions in the European Parliament in Strassbourg at Euroscola. The process to take part is very simple, your club invites schools and young people to participate. The competition is aimed at students in the senior cycle of secondary school, who will still be 17 or younger by March 2010.
