On June 10-12, 2024, the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership partnered with Global Ties Arizona to host the 2024 Young Diplomats Summer Institute, a 2.5-day program that introduces young leaders to pathways to global diplomacy and international affairs.
Through a series of workshops, guest speakers and activities held at the Flinn Foundation, 10th-12th grade students from high schools across Greater Phoenix learned about topics including Cross Cultural Understanding, Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution, Advocacy for Arizona’s Global Role and more.
On the final day, students participated in a Flinn Young Leaders workshop titled “Championing Global Causes: Advocacy Training for Future Diplomats.” During the session, students identified a global policy issue they are passionate about and learned to effectively communicate their concerns by writing an advocacy letter to their state representatives.
