“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.
I can't even imagine how exciting the final day and closing ceremony must have been. From what I've been reading, it appears that the summit was a resounding success. Congratulations to all who committed to the important work of serving as agents of change amidst the conflicts in their nations. Having the opportunity to get to know and work with one another during this summit is likely to positive benefits in the future as you work towards a common goal. Judy S.
