The Opportunity to Participate in the Common Futures Conversations Remote Event for Community Leaders

Chatham House invites community leaders to join the Common Futures Conversations event remotely or in the United Kingdom, as it is a flagship initiative that strives to create a community of young African and European community leaders and involve them and their ideas in major policy discussions. The online platform was created with a network of 27 young people from 13 countries, and builds on the youth survey they conducted in January 2019.
