Apply to represent SftG at United Nations Summit of the Future
Following its special accreditation by the United Nations, Signals from the Grassroots is pleased to announce a call for applications from youth to represent the organization at the Summit of the Future. This prestigious event will take place from September 22-23, 2024, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
This milestone is a testament to our collective efforts to amplify youth voices, providing opportunities for young people to express their opinions on high-level platforms, engage with policymakers, influence global events, and drive change.
About Summit of the Future
The Summit is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future.
Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities. This once-in-a-generation opportunity serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively achieve agreed goals and tackle emerging threats and opportunities.
In September, world leaders will convene at the United Nations to adopt the Pact for the Future, which will include a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations as annexes.
Eligibility
Be a young person between 18 and 35 years
Benefits
- Signals from the Grassroots will support selected youth in the visa application process, including obtaining a letter from the United Nations. This special UN visa will exempt applicants from visa fees.
- Delegates will have the opportunity to make interventions during the interactive dialogues at the United Nations.
