The 15- to 16-year-olds meet on 22 March at Coventry's Hope Centre, where they will represent the 15 countries that comprise the security council. The event will be chaired by members of the Coventry Youth Council, supported by the Coventry United Nations Association. Young people will spend the day discussing issues such as refugees and asylum seekers, reform to the security council, climate change and peace.
