About us

Global Voices is a youth-led Australian not-for-profit committed to developing the next generation of leaders by providing practical experience in policymaking, international relations, and diplomacy. We are a non-partisan and non-advocacy organisation committed to contributing youth perspectives to domestic and global decision-making.

Since our founding in 2011, we have supported over 280 young people to participate in our Fellowship Program and attend over 85 international summits, including at the United Nations, OECD, World Bank, IMF and Y20.

The Global Voices Fellowship Program consists of three elements: participation in a Canberra Briefings Program, completion of a Policy Fellowship, and attendance at an international delegation. Our Program provides participants with a dedicated policy-writing workshop, media engagement training, institutional visits, greater cross-cultural awareness, and significant professional networking opportunities.


There are 3 components to the Global Voices Fellowship:

 

1 - Canberra Briefings Program

Twice a year, Global Voices brings together its Fellows from across the country to participate in a Canberra Briefings program. Across three days, the Fellows meet with senior leaders in government, civil-society, and academia, and receive training in policy-writing, media engagement, and networking.

2 - International Delegations

Global Voices leads delegations of young Australian leaders overseas, where they are able to learn about multilateral decision-making, consensus building, and policy-writing processes. There, our Fellows develop their networks, contribute to high-level discussions, and share their ideas for solutions to global challenges.

3 - Policy Fellowship

Each Fellow completes a Policy Fellowship, which provides them the opportunity to research policy gaps on a topic related to their international delegation agenda, and develop comprehensive and concise recommendations for domestic policy implementation. These are then published on our online Journal.

Global Voices would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First People and Traditional Custodians.

We value their cultures, identities, and continuing connection to country, waters, kin and community. We pay our respects to Elders, both past and present, and are committed to supporting the next generation of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders.
