The Global Youth Panel!
The most important environmental conference of the decade will take place in Copenhagen in December. Debatewise, an online debating website, in conjunction with The British Council and IDEA, call on everyone who understands the importance of the summit to take their place on the Global Youth Panel.
The aim is to create a one-thousand strong focus group of young, proactive and passionate debaters to have their say on what happens in Copenhagen. Members of the panel will debate the issues as they arise, and other members will vote on the points that have been made. You can participate as much or a little as you like and will take place totally online.
This is a unique opportunity to play your part in a very important global event, the consequences of which will have a huge impact on the world you’re about to inherit. It is your right to have your say and to be heard. Let your leaders know what you think by joining our panel here:

Thought I should point out that we are particularly looking for country coordinators to help us in this project.
The idea behind this is that we will have a coordinator for each country in the world (I am skeptical about our ability to find people from some countries such as North Korea!) These coordinators would help recruit people to the Global Youth Panel from their country preferably 10-20 people. They would also then have some responsability for getting them involved in the debates and for voting.
If you are interested in representing your country and having a big impact in this vitally important climate change debate please email Ricky or Myself. Or else send us a message here.
