RYLA stands for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, an intensive leadership development program officially established by Rotary International in 1971. Organised locally by individual Rotary clubs and districts, RYLA aims to build confidence, improve communication skills, and develop global citizenship among young people aged 18-25. Workshops focus on leadership theory, public speaking, conflict resolution, ethics and team building.

Heloise Murray and Isabel Bowden are both students of Loreto Mandeville Hall in Toorak, and accomplished debaters. In May this year, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Glenferrie, they represented their school at the Rotary District 9800 Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA), where they were assigned to speak on behalf of Russia. MUNA is an annual, two-day weekend event that is part of an international Rotary project to educate senior high school students (years 10 - 12) on the United Nations organisation and its vital commitment to world peace, in addition to health, education and living standards around the world. Come along and meet Heloise and Isabel, learn more about MUNA and discover what Russia had to say in this year's event.
