Past events The unique concept of the “G8 Youth Summit” and “G20 Youth Summit” was created by Ksenia Khoruzhnikova in 2005. As President of the NGO International Youth Diplomacy League, Ksenia and her team organized the first G8 Youth Summit in Saint-Petersburg in 2006. Since 2006 the International Youth Diplomacy League has co-organized the G8 Youth Summits in Berlin, 2007, in Tokyo, 2008, in Milan, 2009, the G8 & G20 Youth Summits in Vancouver, 2010, in Paris, in 2011 and in Washington, 2012. That concept of the “G8 Youth Summit” and the “G20 Youth Summit”, created by Ksenia Khoruzhnikova in 2005, involves the selection of young experts by a jury to become the young heads of states and ministers for the “G8 Youth Summit” and the “G20 Youth Summit”. During the Summit the young heads of states and ministers meet together and work over several sessions in order to produce the Final Recommendations (Communique) to be presented to international organizations, governments and society at large. This is an international non-governmental not-for-profit civil society project, independent from any government of the G8 or G20. Its aim is to represent independent views and opinions of the new generation of young leaders. Since 2006 around 1500 participants and experts have taken part in the G8 & G20 Youth Summits. In 2012, in order to continue the development of the concept, its creator Ksenia Khoruzhnikova, in consort with the Group of alumni and the International Youth Diplomacy League, created the G8 & G20 Alumni Association (an independent international NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland). The G8 & G20 Alumni Association is an international independent platform for interaction between alumni, young leaders, experts, parliamentarians, academics and, representatives of business and governments of the G8 & G20 countries. It facilitates easier cooperation on a day to day basis over a wide range of issues throughout the year. Starting from 2013, the NGO G8 & G20 Alumni Association, together with the NGO International Youth Diplomacy League will continue to organize the G8 Youth Forum and G20 Youth Forum annually. The concept of the G8 Youth Forum / the G20 Youth Forum includes four events that run in tandem with each other. These are the G8 Youth Summit/ the G20 Youth Summit, and three new events: the Conference, the International Young Parliamentarians’ Debate, the Alumni meeting. The international team of the NGO G8 & G20 Alumni Association and NGO International Youth Diplomacy League have gained 10 years of invaluable international experience in the sphere of global emerging political and economic issues as well as in intercultural and management skills. Every year this unique international experience gives rise to a dazzling array of unforgettable events and experiences for all its participants.
