Inside the G20 Youth Summit | Calm Before the Chaos (#g20southafrica Week in My Life Days 2 + 3)

Video Description

Welcome to the second episode of the Y20 South Africa 2025 series! In the last episode, you joined me for the opening ceremony of the official youth engagement group of the G20, which raised our hopes and expectations that we could make a real impact on global youth policy. In this video, I take you further behind the scenes for an intense 48 hours of negotiations, and I introduce you to new friends (and long-lost cousins!) I meet along the way. These two days were the calm before the chaos, because coming up in the final episode, the issues bubbling under the surface come to a head. Join me inside the negotiation rooms, as I share some reflections on finding your voice and balancing ambition with rest ⭐️. I'd love to hear from you in the comments if you enjoyed this video or want to share your experience with anything youth or diplomacy-related. See you in the next and final episode of this series ✨.
