The ambassadors will play a key role in championing the Gaisce Award among their peers, in their local communities, and at the national level and helping shape and enhance the award experience for future participants.

Throughout their term, panel members will participate in workshops, attend events, develop new skills, and engage in consultation and decision-making spaces.

They will also explore themes such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inclusion, and diversity. Additionally, the panel of ambassadors will benefit from the chance to learn from and engage with experienced guest speakers.
