Global Unites Summit 2015- Day 5 and Closing Ceremony


“We the youth of Global Unites Summit 2015 are committed to serving our nations and working towards peace even in the midst of conflict””






The closing ceremony was a vibrant event to say the least. The delegates from 18 different nations were donned in their cultural clothing bringing color and life to the final event of the Global Unites Summit 2015. Chief guests Ambassador Dhanapala and High Commissioner Doidge commended the work of the delegates and of Global Unites while reiterating the importance of youth led conflict transformation. High Comissionser Doidge pledged his support to Global Unites and its future endeavors. The night also comprised of traditional dance acts representing both the Sinhalese and Tamil communities of Sri Lanka.  A special moment of the night was when the entire audience stood up to pledge their commitment to be agents of change amidst the conflicts in their nations.  

With most conclusions comes a sense of sadness but with the conclusion of the Global Unites Summit spirits were renewed, resolves strengthened and new sense of hope and excitement instilled within everyone. This was the start of something new for many and many of them were already envisioning great things for their communities and nations.
