Junior 8 Summit

If you had the opportunity to tell world leaders what they should do to solve global problems, what would you say?

The Junior 8 program gives you the chance to develop your own ideas about the most pressing global issues today, discuss them with your friends, classmates and young people from around the world, and present them to the leaders of eight of the most powerful countries in the world.

Groups of young people can enter by putting forward their ideas on the topics discussed by the G8 this year. Entries are judged by an expert panel in each country and one group of four students is chosen to represent their country at the J8 Summit. http://youth.unicefusa.org/junior-8-summit/enter-the-competition.html

Think you can come up with a new way of approaching the most important global issues of our time? Then learn about the selection process and submit your team’s application for the 2009 J8 Competition!
