APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED 

We’re offering 200 young people the chance to join our Y7 #AtTheTable Ambassador Network.

Our #AtTheTable Ambassadors will play a key role in getting Britain talking about the big issues that young people want to see G7 leaders take action on, and the impact that would have on their and their communities’ lives.

What is the Y7 National #AtTheTable Conversation?

The Y7 will be hosted from 12 - 15 May 2021, one month ahead of the G7 Leaders Summit (11 - 13 June 2021). The Y7 is an incredible opportunity for young people to be #AtTheTable with world leaders, presenting their views and voice to deliver global change.

However, most young people don’t even know the G7 exists, let alone the Y7. They’re missing out on this incredible opportunity to have the youth voice heard at the highest level of decision making.

For that reason, throughout April we are hosting the National #AtTheTable Conversation. The purpose of the National Conversation is to get as many young people as possible talking about the four core topics of the Y7 (Climate and the Environment, Digital and Technology, Economy and Health) ahead of this so so that we can:

  • Raise awareness of the G7/Y7 so young people understand more about these important international events and why they matter!

  • Hear the big issues U.K youth want the G7 to take action on - we’ll share your stories with G7 leaders, diplomats and decision makers throughout the G7 process through videos, social media and articles

  • Deliver a lasting legacy to the G7/Y7 2021. We want to equip young people with the skills they need to host meaningful conversations with their peers about the big issues that matter to them, giving them the tools and techniques they need to continue to engage in democratic processes long after the G7 has concluded.

What are #AtTheTable Ambassadors?

#AtTheTable Ambassadors are the core foundations of our National #AtTheTable Conversation. You’ll be responsible for hosting conversations with young people in your community - whether it’s your friends, family, peers, work colleagues, flatmates, neighbours… whoever! You’ll help us ensure that as many young people across the U.K. understand the significance of the G7, and what they want to see world leaders take action on at the G7 in June.

You must be aged 17 - 30 to become a Y7 2021 #AtTheTable Ambassador.
