60 young leaders from the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) and Commonwealth and regional youth networks are gathering in London for a capacity building and leadership programme. The summit is being convened by Youth Affairs Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat.

Building on the vision for change articulated by young people at the Kigali Commonwealth Youth Forum in 2022, the summit will consider how to utilise strategically the Commonwealth Year of Youth 2023 and meet its aims for youth-led development and co-creation of solutions to the challenges of national development. The summit will also consider what re-invigoration of the Commonwealth Youth Programme could look like.
