Student Ambassadors

About the Role

Student ambassadors are the backbone of the International Douglas-Young Tournament. They help organise the tournament and work closely with the DYT heads. Student ambassadors are leaders, communicators, and help the DYT heads adapt the tournament to each school. Being a student ambassador is a CAS project and work experience.

Student ambassadors must:

Market the competition to their classmates (e.g. putting up posters, giving presentations, sending emails…)
Comunicate with a staff member in charge (e.g. setting up meetings, formally introducing the tournament to them…)

Then, student ambassadors will join one or more teams that specialise in different areas.

We recommend this role for all students interested in leadership but we especially recommend it to those interested in business, marketing, communication, and social media management.

DYT Student Ambassadors are also invited to Ikast, Denmark for the second round (dates in March and TBA) to help in tournament management and participate in social activities (where you will meet the DYT heads, your fellow student ambassadors, participants, and other interesting people. Attending the second round is free, however, student ambassadors may expect to pay for their transportation and accommodation for the event.

Why You Should Join

An impressive leadership role
Attractive extracurricular for university applications
Networking with other IB students globally
Learn marketing and business skills, of which are useful in all career paths
Good work experience for your CV
Fun and impactful CAS project
Experience something new and make tons of friends!

Prizes

One DYT Student Ambassador will have the pleasure to win the “Best DYT Student Ambassador” award! The winner of this award will be someone who creates a big, positive impact with their initiatives, actions, and help. The award will consist of a certificate and a gift from the executive council.

This award will be announced at the closing ceremony held in Denmark. It is important to note that DYT Student Ambasadors are not required to go to the social events, closing ceremony, and second round in Denmark as part of their role description. They are of course invited but if they cannot make it, this will have no effect on their elegibility for the “Best DYT Student Ambassador” award or the completion of their role as a whole.

Requirements

To be a DYT Student Ambassador, you must be either a MYP5 student, Pre-IB student, a first-year IB student, or a second-year IB student.
