About Juliette Low 2024
In 2024 the theme is Peace and so there is a focus on participants developing their global competence and growing their capacity to build peace as leaders who can form meaningful global connections, take action to support their community and speak out against injustice. The programme itself is 9 months long, with online learning and connection sessions as well as a one-week long in-person event. It is delivered in 4 languages – Arabic, English, French and Spanish. We have 150 participants from 70 different countries and 83 Girl Guide/Girl Scout Associations and Organisations. They represent all 5 regions and all 4 official languages of WAGGGS. The programme is facilitated by a Global Team of 80 volunteers and staff members. As part of JLS, participants are challenged to complete a ‘100 Girls Project’ that supports the leadership development of at least 100 girls in their local community and puts their learning into action with a ripple effect of impact.
