Leo-Lions Cultural Ambassador Program

There will be two Leo-Lions Cultural Ambassadors at the Europa Forum in Bordeaux, please give them a warm welcome, because they will have to participate in everything and question you. One will come from Bangladesh and the other, from Singapore.

What this program is

The Lion-Leo Cultural Exchange Program is a scholarship program exclusively for Leo Lions. One Lion-Leo Cultural Exchange Ambassador is selected per Constitutional Area to receive a scholarship to attend a Lions Forum other than their own (for example, a Lion-Leo from Constitutional Zone 4 may attend the constitutional zone forum 6). Leo-Lions Cultural Exchange Ambassadors learn about service and culture from a global perspective through their experience, and discover new perspectives and ideas in leadership and service while experiencing a culture from another region.

What to do

Leo Lions Cultural Ambassadors will participate in all forum sessions, events and service activities to learn about regional differences and similarities in local needs and service activities. Upon returning home, Leo Lions Cultural Ambassadors are invited to share information and experiences gained at events in their district, multiple district and constitutional region. They will also be asked to write a blog about their experience participating in a Lions forum.
