Netanya Edilu

In this episode, we sit down with Netanya Edu, the 18-year-old winner of the Embassy’s “Be an Ambassador for a Day” competition, to hear about her experience stepping into the role of Ambassador of Ireland to Ethiopia for a day. She reflects on her passion for inclusive education, her work with young people through Education4All, and her experiences with youth leadership programmes including the EU Youth Sounding Board and Goal Next Gen. Looking ahead, Netanya shares her ambitions to work at the intersection of equitable finance, diplomacy and accessible education, while encouraging young people to pursue their interests and turn small opportunities into meaningful change.
