The "Ambassador for a Day Competition 2022: Freedom and Democracy" is a joint initiative by the Embassies of Canada, United Kingdom and United States to the Czech Republic.
Objectives
The theme of this year's competition is freedom and democracy. Currently, the importance of our shared values of freedom and democracy are top of the international news agenda. Two years of restrictions in response to COVID have also impacted some people's attitudes to what freedom and democracy mean. In international relations and conflict resolution, women's voices are often absent or sidelined, yet research shows they can make a difference to how issues are approached and managed, and the resilience of responses.
How to participate
Submit an essay of 500-700 words in English that responds to the following questions:
| Why more women's voices need to be heard in international affairs, conflict resolution, and policymaking more generally; |
| Why women's engagement and participation in decision-making processes is important; |
| What difference women's voices can make in this field; |
| What freedom and democracy mean to you in the Czech Republic in 2022. |
