Indonesian Youth Diplomacy is pleased to announce our call for applicants for the Indonesian delegation to the Y20 2015 from August 15th to 21st, 2015 in Istanbul.
Indonesia's participation
in the Y20 (formerly G20 Youth Summit) started in 2010, when five
delegates represented Indonesia at the G8 & G20 Youth Summits in
Vancouver, Canada. Ever since then, Indonesia sends delegations to
subsequent Summits: Paris (2011), Washington (2012), Saint Petersburg
(2013) and attended Y8 2013 as one of the invited country delegations in
London, and also Sydney (2014). Now we would like to invite you to
become a part of the growing network as one of the five delegates of
the Indonesian delegation by applying to this year's Summit.
The
individuals selected for the Indonesian delegation will be financially
supported for their in-country cost of the Y20 Summit program, including
up to six nights accommodation, meals, local transportation and airport
transfers.
As part of the Turkish Government’s
presidency of the G20, an official Youth 20 (Y20) Summit will be hosted
in Istanbul in August 2015. The Y20 Planning Group are organising this
outreach engagement group. The Y20 Summit is the official platform for
young people from across G20 countries to engage in policy discussions
on the most pressing global, economic challenges and generate innovative
solutions which will be presented to the G20 Leaders Summit for
consideration in their discussions.
