Next Gen World Majlis

Four students represented WIS at the Next Gen World Majlis students were selected based on their audio response to one of the following briefs:

  • What are your hopes for COP28?
  • What frustrates you the most about the current global response to climate action?
  • If you could speak to all world leaders at COP28, what would be your message?
  • How effective are COP conferences? Could they be done differently?

Congratulations to our shortlisted representatives:

  • Ryaan Datta
  • Elysia Page
  • Aleksandra Wiacek
  • Ragaa Abdalbary

Round 1 included guest speaker Sara Shatila - United Nations Communications and Advocacy Manager for the UAE. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and then participated in a quiz.

Ragaa Abdalbary was selected to progress to Round 2 on the 2nd November. An incredible achievement. 120 students attended Round 1 and only 20 are selected to progress to Round 2. During Round 2 students will delve deeper into the Sustainable Development Goals and participate in a Climate Fresk. Only ten students will move to Round 3 based on their active involvement and collaboration. We wish Ragaa all the best in Round 2.
