Could you be the next delegate to represent the UK at the Youth G7/G20?
The Future Leaders Network is looking for four ambitious, passionate young people to represent the U.K. at the G7 and G20 Youth Summits 2021. The Y7/&20 are the official youth engagement groups for the G7/G20 and its purpose is to ensure that the Heads of State G7/G20 Declaration best represents and delivers action on youth priorities and issues.
The 2021 Y7 is a particularly momentous occasion, as the U.K. hosts the G7 Presidency, and the Future Leaders Network has been appointed to host the Y7.
The 2021 Y20 will be hosted by Italy and held in Milan!
As a delegate at the Y7/Y20 2021, you'll get the chance to represent your country at the highest level of decision making, developing evidence-based policies on behalf of young people and advocate these proposals to world leaders. You'll build incredible skills such as public consultation, policy making and negotiating, and join a network of global leaders.
Applications from young people from all backgrounds and walks of life are welcomed - the Future Leaders Network is committed to ensuring that the U.K.'s delegates are representative of U.K. youth in all its diversity.
The only eligibility criteria are that:
you are aged 18-30 by 31 December 2020 and
you are a U.K. citizen and/or hold a valid U.K. passport.
You must also be able to attend the Y7/Y20 Summit, expected to take place in May/June 2021.
The role is voluntary, but all reasonable costs of participation of the Y7 (e.g. travel or accommodation, should the Summit take place in person) will be covered. Travel costs of the Y20 will not be covered.
