Rotary Youth Leadership Development Competition: Why apply, and
how?
The competition is designed to help you prepare for your
future career. Countless young people over the past 15 years have
benefited by this competition, and many have written glowing
reports of how it has influenced their attitudes and future
development.
The first step is to complete your own personal Nomination
Form after downloading it and printing (either colour or black and
white), and then submit it to your careers teacher or school
principal. You must however agree to the Competition Rules before
proceeding. If you are chosen from the applicants you will
proceed to an interview selection process, with the possibility to
become a School or Youth Organisation winner. Winners at the
school stage advance to Rotary Club finals, and then on to the
Area Finals. Twenty four students from across the island of
Ireland are selected at the Area Finals to participate in a week
long Leadership Development Programme (LDP). LDP Week consists of
three days in Belfast and Dublin before setting of for the
European Parliament in Strasbourg to play a part in the Euroscola
Programme early next year. The winners debate major EU issues in
the European Parliament Building with 600 other students from most
countries across the European Union.
This competition offers you a personal development
experience not to be missed. The winners, representing Rotary
International in Ireland at Euroscola Day in Strasbourg, will be
making new friends, experiencing challenges and having plenty of
fun throughout the LDP Week.
So go on, complete your Nomination Form, and enter the
competition: your school and local Rotary Club will ensure your
chance of an opportunity to win the trip of a lifetime to the
European Parliament in Strasbourg.
