This annual conference gave Nahila and Emily the experience of working alongside their peers from around the world to solve problems, negotiate results and create a vision for the future.  This year the theme was the ‘The Promise and Perils of Social Media’ and as Nahila explained, “Throughout the week, we heard from a series of keynote speakers, including activists, futurists, data analysists and many more. “One thing we particularly enjoyed was learning how this subject connected with other topics such as extremism, politics and human behaviour. “Most of the time, we were in a magnificent lecture hall with the other 300 delegates, which was much like a university-style experience.   “We also had breakout sessions and activities. In one, we given the role of a company or a country facing a global challenge, and we had to work with other groups to issue statements and come to a final solution. This gave me an insight into how countries and companies work together to solve issues.   “This opportunity has also opened my eyes to the wider world and allowed me to learn not just about social media, but also how to overcome cultural differences. “I would also like to think this experience has given me the confidence to do more in life. Just as I know that many of the delegates I worked with, will do something to make the world a better place, I hope to do the same.” Date Posted: 30 September, 2019 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/news-article/world-affair-seminar-2019) ## Articles for: The World Beyond ![Mrs Tobias announces her retirement | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Isabel%20Tobias%20three-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Isabel%20Tobias%20three-450_th.jpg) **Mrs Tobias announces her retirement | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 3 September, 2019 READ MORE ![News from the Arctic Circle!](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Penny1.jpeg?width=770&name=Penny1.jpeg) **News from the Arctic Circle!** Date Posted: 21 May, 2022 READ MORE ![Black history matters | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Whole%20school%20assembly%202-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Whole%20school%20assembly%202-450_th.jpg) **Black history matters | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 18 October, 2019 READ MORE ![Senior School siblings create handmade jewellery for charity](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lucy%20and%20emma-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=lucy%20and%20emma-450_th.jpg) **Senior School siblings create handmade jewellery for charity** Date Posted: 3 December, 2020 READ MORE ![World-class Nicola Benedetti performs at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-22-60-PM.jpg?width=770&name=image1-450_th-Jul-08-2021-03-20-22-60-PM.jpg) **World-class Nicola Benedetti performs at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 15 October, 2018 READ MORE ![Redmaids' High Musician Spoilt for Choice | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Lucy%20K-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Lucy%20K-450_th.jpg) **Redmaids' High Musician Spoilt for Choice | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 13 January, 2021 READ MORE ![Lucy hits the high notes | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2816%204-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=IMG_2816%204-450_th.jpg) **Lucy hits the high notes | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 1 October, 2020 READ MORE ![Miranda Krestovnikoff to speak at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Miranda-Krestovnikoff-Copyright--2-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Miranda-Krestovnikoff-Copyright--2-450_th.jpg) **Miranda Krestovnikoff to speak at Redmaids' High | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 24 May, 2019 READ MORE ![2020 House Music Competition | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2611-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=IMG_2611-450_th.jpg) **2020 House Music Competition | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 9 March, 2020 READ MORE ![Hitting the high notes](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/WEBIMG_9307%20square.jpg?width=770&name=WEBIMG_9307%20square.jpg) **Hitting the high notes** Date Posted: 23 November, 2021 It was wonderful to be able to bring our Junior School girls together again, to perform in front of a live audience.
