Eight schools completed and submitted projects to be judged in this year’s programme.

The ceremony will be held on Tuesday, June 10 at the Methodist Church Hall, Kingstown, beginning at 1 p.m.

The guest speaker at Tuesday’s ceremony will be magistrate and chief commissioner of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Girl Guide Association Rechanne Browne-Matthias.

Addresses will also be made by RBTT/RBC country manager – La Fleur Nichols and a representative of the Ministry of Education.

The theme for this year’s programme is: “Diversity…the 21st Century Imperative.”

Last year, RBTT challenged Young Leaders to become agents of change by positively influencing the social issues affecting youth. The need to promote a global culture of respect for diversity and inclusion emerged from that project, and this year, RBTT invited Young Leaders to become champions of diversity in their communities.
