Competition

Can you come up with a new way of approaching the most important global issues of our time? Do you think your ideas could help to fight climate change, poverty and diseases?

By entering the Junior 8 (J8) Competition, you could win the chance to represent your country at the J8 Summit to present your ideas to eight of the most powerful leaders in the world.

To enter the competition, teams work together to come up with their own ideas on how to tackle the key issues being discussed by the G8. They submit these ideas online through the J8 website.

The entries are then judged by a specially selected panel in each country. The team with the best entry from each country is chosen to take part in the J8 Summit and to get the opportunity to meet the leaders of the G8.

Forum

Through J8, you can get to know about the major issues facing the world today. There are education resources —including fact sheets, opinion pieces and exercises — on this website covering everything from poverty reduction to infectious diseases to climate change.

For teachers, J8 provides lesson plans and curriculum guidance to help make global citizenship accessible in the classroom.
