Ambassadors will represent us in Biberach

EIGHT young ambassadors have been chosen to represent the island in Germany.

As part of the new Guernsey Young Ambassadors scheme, a group of students will travel to Biberach to further relations between Guernsey and the town in Germany where several islanders were interned during the Occupation.

Organised by the Guernsey Friends of Biberach and sponsored by Deutsche Bank, the students will spend a week in the town in October. They will visit a secondary school, join in activities with local young people and visit sites, such as the internment camp.

They will also set up a 'Guernsey stand' in the town centre to promote the island as a tourist destination.
