19-летний выпускник колледжа в Денби выступил с речью на заседании Совета ООН по правам человека

A FORMER student of Myddelton College in Denbigh addressed the United Nations Human Rights Council at the age of just 19. Bogdan Golovin, who studied Business and Economics at Myddelton College between 2022 and 2024, delivered a formal statement during the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on March 11, 2026. Representing civil society organisation Partners for Transparency, Bogdan spoke under Agenda Item 3 on the importance of combating corruption and protecting human rights. His appearance at the Council is documented in the official United Nations Web TV archive, where he is listed among the speakers at the 27th Meeting of the 61st session as “Partners For Transparency, Mr. Bogdan Golovin.” Bogdan moved to North Wales at the age of 15 and says his time at Myddelton played an important role in shaping the independence, ambition and international outlook that he has continued to develop since leaving the College. “My time at Myddelton remains a very meaningful part of my journey," Bogdan said.

Alongside his studies, he is the Founder of BOVLA, a web development and digital growth company helping businesses strengthen their online presence, and Co-Founder of Founders Network, an entrepreneurship community connecting founders, investors, students and business leaders through events and professional networking. Bogdan said he hopes his journey will encourage current Myddelton students to think ambitiously about the opportunities that may lie ahead. “I hope that my journey can also be encouraging to current students and show how the experiences and foundations built at school can lead to opportunities in international business, entrepreneurship and even institutions such as the United Nations.” Lucy Davies, headteacher at Myddelton College, added: “We are incredibly proud to see all that Bogdan has achieved since leaving Myddelton College. "His journey is a wonderful example of where ambition, independence and an international outlook can lead. “At Myddelton, we are committed to helping every student develop the confidence to explore their interests, embrace new opportunities and look ahead to an exciting future. It is always particularly special to hear from former students and see the different paths they go on to take. “From arriving in North Wales as a young teenager to studying, building businesses and speaking on an international stage in Geneva, Bogdan's story is an inspiring one. We are delighted to celebrate this remarkable achievement with him and look forward to seeing what he does next.” Bogdan's participation in the United Nations Human Rights Council session can be viewed in the official United Nations Web TV archive.
