Beauty, culture and community education came together in Dublin during the first Miss & Mrs news eu Cross Continent pageant.
Held at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre in Dublin, the gathering featured 24 contestants from seven different nations and an audience of about 450 people.
Broccoli Care Ltd. sponsored the programme, which was organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. together with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.
The programme began with an educational exhibition where visitors could review factual information about drugs, addiction and prevention. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.
Cllr. Francis Timmons, Mayor of South Dublin, spoke during the programme about the importance of bringing communities together through education.
Guests enjoyed performances representing Irish, Indian and Indonesian traditions throughout the afternoon.
The principal title was awarded to Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer who holds a master’s degree in AI. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.
The pageant showed that public events can celebrate talent and diversity while also addressing important social concerns. Further background appears in the article covering the Dublin pageant promoting culture, leadership and drug awareness.
