Junior Team Canada Trade and Development Mission to Peru 2023

Global Vision is pleased to announce our Junior Team Canada Trade and Development Mission to Peru for 2023. Building on previous missions to Peru, our focus is to promote Canadian businesses and organizations in the rapidly growing Peruvian economy. We aim to foster economic cooperation and sustainable development initiatives between Canada and Peru as members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Transpacific Partnership, signed in May 2018.

From July 24th to August 8th, 2023, Junior Team Canada Ambassadors will showcase Canadian education opportunities for Peruvian students and identify trade opportunities in agriculture, education, environment, finance, mining, natural resources, and other sectors. We will collaborate with the Canadian Embassy in Peru and the Peruvian – Canadian Chamber of Commerce to engage industry, government, community, and youth leaders. Ambassadors will also work with social entrepreneurs, advocates, and change makers on sustainable development projects for indigenous and marginalized communities in Peru.

Selected Junior Team Canada Ambassadors must raise CAD 5,500.00 in sponsorship and have mandates to fulfil when abroad. Alternatively, you may cover the fees with personal funds. Global Vision is committed to creating opportunities for youth to develop their skills and make a positive impact in Canada and the world. If selected and financial concerns arise, we will work with ambassadors to explore options to overcome barriers and ensure their participation in the mission.
