2011 SUMMITS

The 2011 Commonwealth Youth Summits took place in February and March, with up to 120 young people coming together in each region to learn more about the Millennium Development Goals and debate the issues of education and health for all.

On 19 and 20 April, 50 representatives from the four regions attended the National Summit in London. The group had the opportunity to visit a range of Commonwealth High Commissions and spoke to diplomatic staff about the development challenges their countries face.

The group then reconvened at Marlborough House, the home of the Commonwealth Secretariat, to debate what young people can do to address these issues, and make a difference to the world around them, concluding the day by presenting regional action plans. The final Communiqué was received by Ms Mmasekgoa Masire-Mwamba, the Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General.
