PHILIPSBURG:--- CaribServe, the broadband internet brand of UTS will be providing its broadband internet service and equipment to enable the live streaming of the Kingdom Youth Parliament sessions which will take place this week, as part of Princess Beatrix' visit to the island. Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix will open the Kingdom Youth Parliament (KYP) on Tuesday morning, May 20th at the University of St. Martin. She will deliver the opening statement and will frequent the sessions during May 20, 21 and 22. She will also meet with the youth members informally.
CaribServe is facilitating a live stream of the sessions so that interested parties will be able to follow the Kingdom Youth Parliament Sessions. The website to access the live stream is www.kingdomyouthparliament.org. In the past months, the teams have prepared themselves by practicing the art of debating. They came together during the weekends in order to practice how to build arguments that support their statements in the best possible way. And, where necessary, they learned the facts and figures of the constitutional structure by heart. The Dutch Debate Institute will lead the official debate in St. Maarten and has also helped with the preparatory sessions. "We are excited to be able to help showcase the opinions and debating skills of the 50 youths from all over the kingdom to a larger audience." Says UTS marketing and Communication Officer, Ivy Lambert "The visit by Her Royal Highness is certainly a momentous occasion and we are happy to be able to facilitate its exposure to as many people as possible. We wish all youth parliament participants a successful, educational and fun week."
