After celebrating its fifth anniversary last week, the Global Changemakers team is moving on to its next milestone: the Euro-Africa Youth Summit will take place in Brussels on 24-30 June.  

The call for applications began on Monday, 30 January and ends on Sunday, 19 February. The profile for those eligible to apply is as follows: 

·      Social entrepreneurs, community activists and volunteers aged 18-24 (on 24 June)

 ·      They must not have taken part in any previous Global Changemakers summits

 ·      They must be able to communicate comfortably in English 

·      They must be residents of a country in Europe or Sub-Saharan Africa 

Goodnews for those who were selected for a previous summit but were unable to attend, if you meet the criteria above, you may reapply for this specific summit.

 Also, the search for ten peer facilitators have already begun. Potential candidates must have taken part in a Global Changemakers summit, but they needn’t be from the two regions specified.

If you’re interested in becoming a peer facilitator for the event, haven’t taken part in one of the previous summits as a peer facilitator and are aged 18-25 on the first day of the summit, you can apply here:
