On 18 January 2021 the Norwegian ambassador H.E. Kjersti Rødsmoen invited Thai teens to celebrate international women’s day and a chance to be in the Ambassador shoes for the day. The invitation read as follow:
If you are a Thai citizen aged between 18-25 years old, we encourage you to make a three-minutes video sharing your opinion about a social issue affecting women and girls in your community and what you have done or would do to improve the situation. The winner chosen by each participating embassies will accompany the Ambassador to an activity related to the International Women’s Day, receive a gift from the participating country as well as have his/her video featured on the Embassy’s Facebook.
