Deadline: 1st January 2024

Are you tired of feeling disconnected from politics? Do you want to share your views on the key issues shaping our world? If so, sign up to take part in the Common Conversations on Chatham House Futures 2024.

Young people are often not considered leaders or seen as experts in their own right. In response, Chatham House is building a diverse community of young people from across Africa and Europe to participate in an international exchange with policymakers.

The Common Conversations on Futures (CFC) is a flagship initiative that endeavours to create a community of young African and European community leaders and involve them and their ideas in key political discussions. The online platform was created with a network of 27 young people from 13 countries and is based on the youth survey carried out in January 2019. It was developed by Chatham House and made possible by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
