Mexico Hosts Y20 Youth Summit in Puebla


Mexican authorities launched the G20 Youth Summit (also known as the Y20 Summit), which looks to analyze the challenges that young people around the world will face and define solutions to these issues from a global perspective.

Chancellor Patricia Espinosa Cantellano kicked off the forum at the William O. Jenkins Convention Center in Puebla, Mexico and insisted that the participants focus on formulating proposals that address issues that will be discussed the G20 Summit.

She expressed her enthusiasm for the meeting, as it unites a vast multicultural mosaic of young people.
“The G20 is much more than an important global forum for addressing economic issues, it is also a process in the evolution of addressing social issues”, said the chancellor.

Throughout the Y20, each participating country has a delegation of seven college students and each group will work on developing a document addressing an economic and labor issue in the youth sector, which they will later present to their own government.
