Chitose Declaration and Young People Action Plan

We, the thirty-nine J8 delegates from Barbados, Canada, Cote d’Ivoire, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States of America believe that it is imperative for G8 leaders to listen to the voices of young people. We urge you to act upon previous J8 declarations as well as our own, so that young people are not ignored. We also need follow up with the G8 governments so that young people can get involved and make sure that our ideas transfer into action NOW and in the future.

Fireworks by Nora Zech, Germany
It is Saturday and our fifth day of working at our Chitose declaration. Today we discussed the topic of Global Health. Everybody was tired but nevertheless most of us were in a good mood. We worked quite hard and the discussions went along as efficiently as the previous day, even if there were a couple of technical difficulties. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of friendship. Day to day it gets much harder to remember that we ever have done something else than working together. It gets much harder to realize that we will have to say ‘Goodbye’ in a few days.read more >>
