Introduction
This activity provides an opportunity to promote Guiding.

Instructions
Discuss with the Guides who they would like to invite to speak to their group. The VIP could include a MEP, Minister, TD, Senator, EU member state Ambassador, City or County Councillor or a local person who is very involved at European level.

As the Guides to write to invite or as leaders you can take on this role. It may be an opportunity to have your Eurovision Talent show or to present the posters and what you learnt so far. You may also use the evening to ask the VIP, after their talk, to present the Europe badges earned by the Guides.

Make sure you take photos and send them to communications@irishgirlguides.ie for publication online and maybe even in Trefoil News.
