LFIB in Australia to represent Thailand at the Asia-Pacific final of the “Ambassadeurs, Ambassadrices en Herbe” competition.
LFIB travelled to Australia to represent Thailand at the Asia-Pacific final of the “Ambassadeurs, Ambassadrices en Herbe” competition, which took place from 7 to 12 March between Sydney and Canberra. Organised by the Lycée Franco-Australien de Canberra, the event brought together students from 14 delegations across Asia and Oceania, representing 10 countries.
More motivated than ever, the students competed in a series of public speaking challenges addressing major contemporary issues under the theme:
“AI: a revolution for the benefit of humanity?”

The debates focused on particularly stimulating questions:
• Does AI transform our definition of creativity?
• Does AI threaten human intelligence or stimulate it?
• Can AI be entrusted with managing climate policy?
• Does AI encourage the manipulation of public opinion?

This final was marked not only by the remarkable quality of the students’ performances, but also by the rich exchanges between schools from across the Asia-Pacific region.

The Lycée Français International de Bangkok was represented by a particularly committed delegation of six students: Clémentine Cordier (CM2), Hema Vandeplassche (CM2), Alice Balay (6C), Aimée Hoprasartsuk-Pellaumai (6B), Mandala Chanthalangsy (6D) and Eva Hoprasartsuk-Pellaumai (2C). Although the youngest delegation in the competition, our students demonstrated great seriousness, strong adaptability and a wonderful team spirit. They distinguished themselves in every round and competed impressively against highly accomplished teams.

Special congratulations to Eva, who was chosen by the jury as Best Speaker among the 14 delegations. She will represent the Asia-Pacific region at the global final of the competition.

Well done to our delegation, their accompanying teachers Ms. Fanette Morales and Mr. Alexandre Balet, and to all the primary and secondary teachers who helped prepare the students since November.
We are already looking forward to next year!
