The Youth Ambassador Experience

“Being an IAHW ambassador allowed me to imagine my future career as a medical practitioner in another perspective. Treating the patients is not enough to improve the life quality of the society, rather taking part in different society activities and encouraging healthy practices can bring a big change to the lives of many people.

Axel Shimwa

“As a student in Health Promotion and Prevention, being a Youth Ambassador for International Adolescent Health Week (IAHW) is a real opportunity on many levels. Learning from students from all over the world through regular exchanges of knowledge and experiences is a great richness. Involvement in this cause allows me to use and develop my skills to participate in promoting the health of French youth. This project under the benevolent supervision of Dr. Offutt is a force for new encounters, reflections and cultural sharing, which are essential assets to face the Public Health challenges of today and tomorrow.”

Chloé Vérité

“My experience as a Y.A is something I am very proud of. Having been Chronically ill for the last eight years, I feel I haven’t much to show for my adolescent years but having the opportunity to help others especially those with Chronic ‘Invisible Illness’ have their voices heard all over the world, is important to me. Realising the compassion that young people as strangers have for each other has encouraged me to invest time in my peers and unit with others to speak for the future. I have also made friends who want to stay connected once the season ends.”
