The 2021 Annual Conversation followed on from the work done for the G7, which came to Cornwall in June 2021....With thousands of young people taking part in the G7, the Council pledged to keep the conversation going as part of their commitment to recognising the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; particularly their rights:

We combined what we heard from children and young people during G7 with the Make Your Mark 2020 results.
