Established in 2011, Global Voices is a not for profit organisation seeking to promote an understanding of and participation in international diplomacy by young Australians.

We do this through regular events and research & development opportunities at home, along with the coordination of youth delegations to important diplomatic forums abroad.

The primary purpose of Global Voices is educational. Education is a powerful driver of change in society and in the context of diplomacy, effectively complements the efforts of diplomatic officials by promoting understanding and friendship between multiple countries.

But Global Voices is also a platform for young Australians to engage with youth from across the world on matters of international importance, whether it is economic development, food security, energy security or the creation of a unified response to climate change.

Global Voices began as a Community Action Project of the Global Changemakers Program, an initiative of the British Council. We rely on the financial support of universities across the country to provide young Australians with these high level opportunities to interact with key players in international affairs.
