Welcome to the Diplomats Society's webpage!
Also known as the Diplomats@Dundee Society, we are a new society established at the University of Dundee in September 2010 helping students attain real life experiences in foreign as well as current affairs, the European Parliament, the United Nations and other institutional networks.
Our aim is, to provide the opportunity for students to get involved and become well-versed student diplomats equipped with skills of debate, compromise, conflict resolution and negotiation in the field of current affairs. To achieve that we are organising trips to international conferences (e.g. European Youth Parliament, Model European Union, Model United Nations, Youth Empowering Conferences et al) as well as visits to various sites of political interest (e.g. Scottish Parliament, European Union Parliament) to hone these skills and develop an even deeper awareness, understanding and involvement in global affairs.
Furthermore, we envision hosting the preliminary selection process for a youth delegate (or a delegation) for the United Kingdom to the United Nations General Assembly since the last delegation was in 2005.
Words of our President:
~ Everyone in the Diplomats@Dundee Society believes youth’s voice should be taken more seriously into consideration and our actions today will enable us to become the decision-makers of tomorrow, decision-makers who will be experienced and educated to consider all sides of an issue and make the best judgement. By being active, productive and present at many international youth empowering conferences, we aim at showing how useful and resourceful young people can be in finding solutions to global and local problems.
