ROYAL COMMONWEALTH SOCIETY - NKABOM
Dear ESU members,
As some of you may be aware we have been working on a few projects and initiatives with the Royal Commonwealth
Society in order to not only increase the reach and opportunities available through our education programmes but
also to strengthen our relationship with the organisation both here in London and internationally. I have attached
a flyer about a programme run by the RCS for 18-25 year olds interested in international relations and current affairs.
Please do pass this flyer onto the schools, universities and education institutions that you work with in order
that as many young people as possible have the opportunity to take part in this excellent programme which this
year will be hosted in Rwanda.
Best wishes,

Dear ESU Members
The Edinburgh Conference is getting
closer! This is going to be the biggest international gathering in the
ESU’s 90-year history, and we hope that you and your members are
planning to be a part of it.
When we wrote to you last, we gave
details of the photographic and essay competitions we are organising,
and told you about the Commemorative Yearbook that we hope to publish
to coincide with the Conference. This is just a reminder that the
submission deadline for these is 31st March, so please do make sure
that you get your entries in to us by the end of next month. I also
attach a questionnaire for the Yearbook, and would be grateful if you
could take a few minutes to complete this and return it to us.
If you want further information on the
competitions or the Yearbook, please do not hesitate to contact us here
in Edinburgh, by email, telephone or post. We would be delighted to
answer any queries you may have.
A brief reminder also about booking
for the Conference (postal booking form attached). The full delegate
rate is £300 sterling if you book before 15th May. If you
register after that date, the rate increases to £330, so do
remind your members of this deadline. The sooner you book, the less it
costs!
Finally, I attach an updated draft
programme for your information. Fuller information is available on the
Conference website, where you can also book your place and
accommodation online.
Warmest regards
John
