Most young people feel cut off from the leaders and governments who shape society. That’s why Chatham House created Common Futures Conversations. Our platform lets you speak directly online with presidents, prime ministers and other policymakers from Africa and Europe. It’s your chance to help them understand your views and tell them how they could do things better. Joining is a massive opportunity if you’re building a career in international affairs, diplomacy or government and want to gain experience. It’s also a great way to meet other young people who want to make the world a better place.
