Chairperson Hosts Reception For Young Ambassadors

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Valerie Harte hosted a Civic Reception on Thursday 22 June, in the Downshire Civic Centre for the Young Ambassadors Programme participants.

Now in its 16^th year, the Young Ambassadors Programme is organised by the St. Patrick’s Centre, Downpatrick. Bringing together young people from the US and Canada, the programme fosters a network of informed and influential individuals with strong connections to the region, promoting cultural understanding, community capacity building and enhancing tourism, while also celebrating our rich heritage and history.

Welcoming the Young Ambassadors, Cllr Harte said, “I know that you will enjoy this visit and learn so much about the culture and history of our beautiful district, which has so much to offer to visitors. I hope that you will all get the opportunity to visit many places of interest and take back to your countries very fond memories of your stay in the North of Ireland.”
