Youth7
Youth7 (Y7) is the civic youth engagement process officially mandated by the G7 Presidency. It serves as the platform for dialogue with the young generation, by engaging with representatives of youth organisations, young activists, and young leaders. Delegates to the Youth7, young people from the G7 members, the European Union as well as partner countries are working closely and develop their own concrete policy recommendations for action to be incorporated in the G7 process. Their voices are taken into consideration by the G7 dialogue processes, through repre- sentatives taking part in the stakeholder engagement by Ministers throughout the Presi- dency. In view to the G7 Leaders’ Summit, they negotiate joint policy positions and adopt a Youth7 Communiqué, which is focusing on the Presidency’s priorities and youth-related issues alike. Across the G7 and beyond young change-makers are taking on the chal- lenge to advocate on behalf of the Communiqué at the highest political level and seek to ensure a continuous engagement by decision-makers with youth. The Youth7 Summit 2022 saw Delegates convening in Berlin for a 5-day-meeting, during which they dedicated their expertise to negotiations, engaged in high-level exchanges, explored the German capital and its political institutions, and succeeded in handing over their Communiqué to Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
