Larne pupil secures Europe trip through Rotary Youth Leadership Competition
Larne Grammar School pupil Lauren McKeown recently won the Larne heat of the Rotary Youth Leadership Competition and progressed to the zone final of the competition in Portrush where she was successful in gaining a place on a trip to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Lauren and 23 other pupils from across the island of Ireland will visit Stormont in Belfast and the Dail in Dublin before flying out to Strasbourg to participate in the Euroscola, debating the topic ‘The EU’s zero pollution ambition’ with students from all over Europe.
In January, Lauren was warmly welcomed to a meeting of the Larne Rotary Club where she spoke about her experience of the competition to date and gratefully received a prize for winning the Larne heat of the competition.
