On the 7th of May 2023, the Social Studies Departments at Al Manar International School orchestrated a remarkable event, the Junior Ambassador Conference (JAC), hosted at the prestigious Hilton Hotel. This gathering brought together 19 students from grades 3, 4, 5, and 6, to delve into the critical theme of “Reducing Waste, Protecting Resources.”
The significance of such a theme resonated deeply with our students, compelling them to articulate the profound impacts of wasteful practices on our environment and society. While the initial mention of natural disasters and earthquakes may seem disconnected, it underscores the broader concept of environmental stewardship and resilience against such calamities.
As an annual tradition, the JAC organized by AMIS serves as a platform for our students to confront diverse global challenges. Through rigorous research and training, we empower them with the necessary skills to evolve into future delegates and orators.
This year’s event surpassed expectations in terms of engagement, with students representing 19 different countries. Moreover, esteemed guests graced the occasion, enriching the discourse with their wisdom and expertise.
Among the distinguished guests were:
Dr. Kareem Rady Badr, Associate Researcher at Qatar University.
Mrs. Reena Naser, Environmental, Economic, Social & Cultural Sustainability Consultant.
Najat Al Ali, representing the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
Dr. Nabeel Yahia, Senior Expert in Planning and Capacity Development at Qatar Museums.
Dr. Saif Ali Al Hajri, Head of the Program for Each Spring Flower.
Ms. Wafa Adam Al-Rashid, Head of the Arabic Department for the Childhood Program.
Mr. Neeshad Shafi, Co-Founder of Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar LLC.
Mr. Jose Saucedo, Head of Education, Sustainability, and Conservation at DeapQatar Conservation.
Moreover, representatives from various embassies graced the occasion, further enhancing the international flavor of the conference:
Mr. Joaquin Correa, Deputy Chief of Mission from the Embassy of Peru.
H.E. Pascual del Cioppo, Ambassador of Ecuador to the State of Qatar.
Mr. Paulino Robles-Gil Cozzi, Cultural Attaché from the Embassy of Mexico.
Mr. Jairo Lopez Bolaños, Charge d’Affaires from the Embassy of Costa Rica.

The conference provided a platform for both students and guests to engage in meaningful dialogue, fostering awareness of global challenges and everyday concerns.
It was a moment of pride for AMIS as we continue to nurture the next generation of leaders, equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle the pressing issues of our time.
