Candidate for The WAGGGS Europe Regional Committee
Over the past years, through volunteering at Nuestra Cabaña and representing my MO as a young delegate, WAGGGS has shaped me and led me to where I am today. In my vision WAGGGS remains an organisation that allows girls and young women to explore, grow and learn so they are prepared for the future and lead the way. Here, MOs are key players. To ensure their success, they must be more involved in ongoing discussions on both regional and global level that influence their work and membership. Open communication, transparency and meaningful collaboration are essential to be a truly MO-driven organisation. Furthermore, the limits to our resources require us to rethink how we operate at all levels. We need clarity and reconsideration of roles, responsibilities and decision-making processes. Moreover, regions are positioned to bridge WAGGGS’ global vision with the diverse realities. Thus, Europe Region needs greater flexibility to adapt and implement actions that reflect the MO needs while following global directions towards Compass 2032. Ultimately, WAGGGS’ strong foundation in non-formal education is fundamental to achieving our purpose: enabling girls and young women to reach their fullest potential as responsible citizens in the world. Additionally, building strong and lasting partnerships with like-minded organisations, such as WOSM, will be essential in Europe’s dynamic landscape, where women’s rights continue to be endangered. Therefore, it is essential to empower one another so we can empower others, creating a ripple effect of positive change. In conclusion, becoming a committee member is putting all my experiences, skills and knowledge to use for a movement and cause that I truly believe in. It is about building connection and a strong network so we can ensure WAGGGS remains relevant in a constantly changing world, adaptable to the multiple challenges and impactful now as well as in the future.
