Youth7 encourages younger generations to talk to G7

Y7 is an official forum for younger generations to put their concerns to leaders of the G7 group of countries. This movement includes a summit for young leader delegates under 30, primarily from G7 countries, who put forward recommendations for Heads of State and Government to highlight the main concerns of their generation.

The 2019 Y7 summit will be organized by the Open Diplomacy Institute in Paris from June 9 to 14, with the aim of enabling younger generations to make their recommendations known to the G7 Heads of State and Government ahead of the G7 summit due to take place in Biarritz, France, from August 24 to 26.
