The ESU regularly selects outstanding coaches and speakers from across the world to other countries to support the teaching and development of International ESUs and partner organisations.

Delegation members are selected through a competitive process to assess their skill in teaching public speaking, debating and general communication skills. We give priority to mentors who have been involved in ESU programmes like Discover Your Voice, or those who have given up their time to judge our competitions and help at events.

Those selected to take part in delegations support our overseas activities, work with school children, university students, ESU members and professionals. Team members also experience the life and culture of the country they visit through cultural events hosted by the ESU in that country. There is virtually no cost to those who take part as flights, accommodation and travel are all covered by the ESU or the host country.

As well as being an valuable addition to your CV, the delegations are great fun and allow you to meet some fascinating people. As we work with ESUs around the world, team members get a chance to see places and meet people that tourists would not, and are part of a unique and often life changing experience.

• Hong Kong
