Y20, Yuvamanthan join hands to conduct 10,000 model G20 summits across India

India's G20 presidency is underway and the country is aiming to engage young people in a dialogue about pressing global issues. To achieve this, Y20 India and Yuvamanthan have signed a partnership that will focus on knowledge sharing, collective duty and meaningful engagement of young people in educational institutions across India.

According to an official statement, the partnership will foster, promote and organise discussions around themes such as the Future of Work, Peacebuilding and Reconciliation, Climate Change, Shared Future, Health, Well-being and Sports. Y20 India is the official consultation forum for youth from all G20 member countries, encouraging future leaders to raise awareness of global issues, exchange ideas and negotiate consensus.

Yuvamanthan seeks to engage youth in a global dialogue on diplomacy, leadership and collective duty through its Model G20 Summit. The summit is an immersive international relations simulation of G20 that teaches global leadership to students by creating strategies for sustainability, peace and growth. The students are encouraged to bring new ideas and perspectives to craft critical actions for the whole world through a communique document.

The partnership between Y20 India and Yuvamanthan will conduct Model G20 Summits in educational institutions across India and engage millions of students in schools, colleges and universities in the process. This initiative aims to build self-awareness through youth leadership and create a platform for young people to have a dialogue on global issues.

Announcing the partnership, Y20 India Chair Anmol Sovit said "This partnership is a prime example of Jan Bhagidaari movement where we will have access to ideas from the Youth to strengthen the discourse on Y20 themes further".

The partnership was signed by Anmol Sovit, Y20 Chair and Aishvarya Singh, Advisor, Yuvamanthan in the presence of Danish Kamal, Director, SafeInSchool. Youth 20 (Y20) India is the official consultation forum for youth from all G20 member countries where they are able to have a dialogue with each other.
