RYLA and the UN Youth Program
Tonight we’ll hear from two impressive young people whose recent experiences—supported by Rotary—have taken them from leadership training in regional Victoria to international diplomacy in Europe.
Harsha Sharma is a university student studying Engineering and Computer Science who recently attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp at Camp Getaway. He’ll share insights from the week-long program, which focuses on personal growth, leadership development and building a sense of community. Unfortunately Harsha informed us on 20/3/2026 that he would be unable to attend the Dinner Meeting on 24/3/2026
Ivy Sheng (16), a Year 10 student at Methodist Ladies' College, was one of just 16 students nationwide selected for UN Youth Australia’s 2026 Young Diplomats Tour. During the month-long program she travelled through Europe, meeting international organisations, political leaders and community groups while exploring key historic sites.
