Chance for Students: “Diplomat for a Day” Competition in Luxembourg

Young women in Luxembourg are being invited to take part in the 2026 “Diplomat for a Day” competition, a unique opportunity hosted by the British and Canadian embassies to give students a taste of international diplomacy. Winners will spend a day with embassy officials on March 10, 2026, joining discussions and observing real diplomatic work and leadership activities.

The initiative celebrates International Women’s Day and aims to encourage girls to explore careers in global affairs, leadership, and international relations, especially in a field where women have historically been underrepresented. 

Participants will gain first-hand insights into how embassies operate, the challenges diplomats face, and the importance of cross-border cooperation on issues like human rights and equality. 

The competition builds on similar programs run in other European cities that have helped young women develop confidence, networking skills, and a deeper understanding of how global policies are shaped.
