Encouraging young people to express their voices through diplomacy gives their generation an opportunity to make an imprint on issues that have significant effects on their lives. Youth diplomacy can be defined as the participation of individuals from the ages 15-24 years (as recognized by the UN) in activities that promote interests of young people and seek to catalyze positive change in global issues that often transcend borders.
It serves as a forum in which young leaders come together to discuss and exchange ideas about the agenda of the G20 Presidency and more international global issues. The participants are encouraged to develop policy solutions to current global challenges, which are manifested in the Committee, consisting of a set of recommendations that are then sent to the G20 Presidency for consideration.
