The issue of child labour will be in focus at this year’s Day of Diplomacy, being held tomorrow (August 23) as part of the Young Diplomats Program at 番茄社区 in Townsville.
The 2013 Day of Diplomacy, hosted by the Faculty of Arts, Education and Social Sciences, will be held on August 23 in the Endeavour Room at Uni Hall.
The Young Diplomats program is designed for Year 10 students from local schools in northern Queensland to learn about international relations and Australia’s roles in international diplomacy.
Ten schools from throughout northern Queensland are participating this year and the students will be tackling the topic “Eliminating Child Labour”.
Each team of students will represent a particular country and will present that nation’s views and perspectives on child labour, with a focus on further international action to combat the issue.
Prizes will be awarded to the best team on the day, as well as to the student judged the best individual speaker.
