The G(irls)20 Summit brings together one delegate from each G20 country, plus a representative from the chair country of the African Union (Equatorial Guinea). The delegates debate, discuss and design innovative ideas necessary to empower girls and women globally. While the agenda is the same as the G20 leaders and focuses on economic innovation – the participants are all girls, aged 18-20.
The delegates participate in panel discussions, attend workshops (media relations, social media, business planning) and caucus to discuss and promote tangible, scalable solutions toward economic prosperity, culminating with a communiqué that provides a blueprint on how to utilize and engage one of the best resources in the world – girls and women.
