A MONMOUTHSHIRE school girl has been appointed as a UK-German Youth Ambassador.

Rosie Boiling, who is in Year 11 at Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Girls, has devised a system to strengthen links between school children in Monmouth and Berlin.

The project involves setting up an emailing system to enable Year 9 pupils at HMSG and a school in Berlin to converse with each other.

And after discussing the system in her application, the 15-year-old was appointed as a UK-German Youth Ambassador and will travel to Berlin.

Rosie will fly to the capital at the end of March on an all-expenses paid trip to meet fellow ambassadors and discuss how their individual projects will be implemented and sustained.

Rosie said: “My German teacher, Mrs Smail, suggested I should apply to become an ambassador. I really love German and I think it’s very important to learn about other people’s cultures.

“The whole project is based around Brexit and how to keep positive relationships between Germany and Britain.”

“I think that being able to speak to someone in their own language shows you respect their country. People get very excited when you can speak even a couple of words in their language. It breaks down walls and you can get to know them much more if you’re speaking in their language.”

Rosie will join her fellow ambassadors in Berlin between March 31 and April 2.
