YDS ATTENDS BERLIN SUMMIT BEFORE DC

European delegates assemble in the dome of the Bundestag in Berlin, May 2012.

In May 2012, the Youth Diplomatic Service attended a pre-summit of European delegates to lay the foundations of negotiations for the G8 & G20 Youth Summits in Washington, DC. The pre-summit took place in Berlin at the Humboldt-Viadrina School of Governance, near the Bundestag, between 11-13 May.

The pre-summit, known as EUrope's Voice, brought together the delegations of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Find out more about EUrope's Voice.

PUTTING
YOUNG
PEOPLE ON
THE GLOBAL
AGENDA

The Youth Diplomatic Service (YDS) was
established in 2011, as the UK's foremost
organisation involving young people in the heart
of international diplomacy. The UK Government officially endorsed the 2012 team.

With a focus on the increasing prominence of
the G8 and G20 forums, YDS recruits and trains
a youth delegation to participate in the annual
G8 and G20 Youth Summits, fringe elements of
the main summits.

YDS is the UK's official
organising committee in a global network of
youth-led organisations, which bring hundreds of
young people from around the world to push
their agenda to world leaders.
