One of our recent graduates, Mr Oliver Rieche (2013), will be one of five German delegates attending the Y20 Summit in Turkey this August.
A group of extraordinary young leaders from across the G20 countries will gather together at this summit in order to identify the most pressing global challenges facing young people.
The Y20 Turkey Summit will be held on the 16th-21st August 2015. Y20 represents the young and innovative voice of the G20 Summits offering a forum for 100 participants from the G20 states. This year the negotiations centre around three main topics: ‘Youth’s contribution to Peace’, ‘Impact of Technology and Innovation on Youth Unemployment’ and ‘Youth and Education in the 21st Century.’
The head delegates will deliver the Final Communiqué and present the proposals to the Heads of State at the G20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey in November 2015.
