Hello. There’s an ask to share details of this event and a call-out to see if any workers.coop members are attending?
The National Youth Summit 2026 takes place on Saturday 13 June 2026 in Birmingham. It brings young people together for a day of ideas, action and connection.
The National Youth Summit is a free event for young people aged 16 to 30 who want to work together to build a fairer future.
Organised by Co-operatives UK, the Summit is for anyone interested in new ways of living, working and organising. You might already be part of a co-operative; are curious about how co-operatives work; or simply motivated to help build something better.
The Summit takes place on Saturday 13 June, from 9.30am to 4.30pm in Birmingham, alongside Co-op Congress, the UK co-operative sector’s annual conference.
We’re also hosting an informal Youth Summit social on Friday evening, with food and live music, so attendees can meet each other, share ideas and get settled in before the main event.
To make sure cost is not a barrier, we will also have full bursaries available for travel and accommodation.
