Indonesian participation in the Y 20 (formerly G 20 Youth Summit) started in 2010, when five delegates represented Indonesia at the G 8 & G 20 Youth Summits in Vancouver, Canada. Ever since then, Indonesia sends delegations to subsequent Summits: Paris (2011), Washington (2012), Saint Petersburg (2013) and attended Y 8 2013 as one of invited country delegations in London. Now we would like to invite you to become part of the growing network as one of the fiveperson Indonesian delegation by applying to next year's Summit.

FAQ What is the Y 20 Summit 2014? The Y 20 Summit 2014 summit will be taking place in Sydney, Australia, between 12 -15 July 2014. The Summit will host 120 youth delegates from G 20 member countries, representing the best and brightest young people from across the world and 12 delegates from invited guest nations. They will be invited to consider the key themes of the summit and work collaboratively to devise solutions to issues that not only factor strongly in the 2014 G 20 but are also extremely salient issues for young people – growth and jobs creation; global citizenship; and sustainable development. The outcome of the summit will be twofold. Firstly, a communiqué will be presented to the G 20 leaders which outline the common ideas that were devised by the delegates at the summit. Secondly, a single “Policy Ask” pertaining to youth unemployment solutions will provide a focus for further action following the Y 20 If you want to know more about our previous Summits, visit our page at http: //www. indonesianyouthdiplomacy. org/g 20/ The. Y 8/Y 20 Summits were formerly known as the G 8/G 20 Youth Summits. The international organization responsible for these summits is The International Diplomatic Engagement Association (The IDEA), part of our global network. The IDEA is a collective of not-for-profit, youth-led organizations from around the world. Some are think tanks, some are charities, some are civil society groups, but they all have one thing in common: they all want to put young people at the heart of the global agenda.

FAQ Is this Summit similar to Model United Nations? Even though the format of the Y 20 Summit is modeled after the real G 8 & G 20 Summits (ie. Invited countries and minister positions available), the Y 20 Summit is not a model event. Delegates may use current policies of their respective governments as their base of arguments during negotiations. However, the Y 20 Summit aims to go beyond simulating existing international policies and promote creative and pragmatic solutions to current world problems. Delegates are encouraged to think outside the box and represent fresh yet practical approach to the G 20 issues with a distinct youth voice. The Summit’s communiqué will be represented to current policymakers in each of the participating countries as well as a formal youth input to the following G 20 Summit. This gives the Summits a unique advantage of ensuring the youth’s voices reach today’s lawmakers. How much does it cost to attend the Summit? This year, all inland costs, including accommodation, meals and airport transfers will be covered by the Organizing Committee (OC) Australia as host for the Summit. However, flights costs, transit costs and travel insurance are not covered. But don’t be discouraged by this as past delegates have managed to lock-in sponsorship deals. Who is eligible to apply as an Indonesian Delegate for the Summit? If you are: • Indonesian citizen • Between the ages of 18 to 30 • Undergraduate, graduate student, recent graduate or young professional in Indonesia or abroad • Demonstrate commitment and active engagement in global and local community, and • Has excellent command of spoken and written English Then we highly encourage you to apply.
