British High Commissioner hosts reception for One Young World Caribbean Caucus

One Young World, a British-based charity founded in 2009, connects bright young leaders from around the world to deliver change.

The first caucus brought together young people from Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Guyana, Haiti, Barbados, the Bahamas and St. Lucia to discuss issues such as social entrepreneurship, the future of education, social inclusion and the Commonwealth.

During the event on Thursday last at his Maraval residence, Stew also bid farewell to this year’s Chevening Scholar, Mukta Balroop.

Stew congratulated Balroop on his achievement as the Chevening Scholar 2017.

In addition to expressing his gratitude to bpTT for co-funding this year’s scholarship, Stew commended Balroop’s focus on Media Law which he will pursue at Queen Mary, University of London.

He encouraged Balroop to look beyond his formal education and to allow himself to gain international perspectives from his fellow students; to understand the world from others’ viewpoints.
