Ustinov Junior Ambassador
Ambassador of the future.
The goal
Children helping children.
- Through the Sir Peter Ustinov Foundation, young talents are creatively trained, for example, at the Ustinov Opera School or the Ustinov Theatre School.
- The aim of the "Ustinov Junior Ambassadors" project is for these children to make their talents available to other children in need so that they can give something back.
The project
Performances for a good cause.
- The young creatives perform at charity events, the proceeds of which in turn benefit other projects organised by the Sir Peter Ustinov Foundation as well as children's aid projects run by other charitable organisations.
The success
