Three members of Sugar Hill's Youth Council have been selected to participate in the Young Leaders’ Transatlantic Summer Academy on Human Rights.
After a lengthy application and decision process, Taylor Morain, Kaan Cubukcu and Spencer-Grace Williams were accepted into the program, according to a news release from the city. This program is a four-week educational opportunity focusing on the topic of human rights. Along with the three Sugar Hill students, nine students from other Georgia cities’ youth councils or committees and twelve youth from Tübingen, Germany will participate.
The goal of this program is to bring these young people together to learn about each country’s political structures and to explore the important places and institutions that are significant for developing and defending human rights, according to the release. During their trip, students will visit Atlanta, New York, Tübingen and Berlin. They will have the opportunity to meet activists, people affected by recent events, media representatives, speakers and politicians.
