About the Chatham House Common Futures Conversations
Applications are open for young people to the Chatham House Common Futures Conversations. The Common Futures is an online community of young people from Africa and Europe who want to make government better. Join now to get your voice heard.
Most young people feel cut off from the leaders and governments who shape society. That’s why Chatham House created Common Futures Conversations. Their platform lets you speak directly online with presidents, prime ministers and other policy makers from Africa and Europe. It’s your chance to help them understand your views and tell them how they could do things better. Joining is a huge opportunity if you’re building a career in international affairs, diplomacy or government and want to gain experience.
Joining Common Futures gives you access to their online platform, which works like a social media site. It’s designed to let you:
- Develop policy solutions and pitch them to people in government;
