The UK Young Ambassadors project gives young people in the UK a voice at international meetings and events, on decisions that affect them and on issues they care about.
Young Ambassadors provide a bridge between young people in the UK and people making decisions around the World. Young Ambassadors have represented UK young people at many important meetings and forums. They have presented to education ministers in Malaysia, made the case for votes at 16 in Europe, lobbied for action on Climate Change in Korea and challenged David Cameron to support more international youth representation at the G20 Summit in Canada.

The British Youth Council is pleased to announce its candidate, Pegah Maysa Moulana, for the upcoming Advisory Council on Youth at Council of Europe elections scheduled for this weekend in Brussels.
The Advisory Council on Youth is the non-governmental partner in the co-management structure which establishes the standards and work priorities of the Council of Europe’s youth sector and makes recommendations for future priorities, programmes and budgets.
It is made up of 30 representatives from youth NGOs and networks in Europe and its main task is to advise the Committee of Ministers on all questions relating to youth. Specifically, the Advisory Council helps to ensure youth policies are mainstreamed into the Council of Europe's programme of activities by providing opinions and proposals to all of the Organisation's bodies. It also ensures that young people are involved in other activities of the Council of Europe and promotes the policies beyond the Organisation.
Pegah has already served her first mandate within the Advisory Council on Youth, specifically working on Youth Work task force, cooperation with neighbouring countries, protection of young refugees transition to adulthood, CoE-EU Partnerships and protection of minority rights.
We are incredibly excited for her future ventures, as it is a pressing time for young people in the UK. It’s important, now more than ever, young people continue feeling part of Europe and the Council of Europe is our key part of achieving this goal.
