Wed, 26 Apr 2023 14:00:00 GMT

PPE student Loshini attended the Y7 Summit in Japan in 2023, with support from the PPE programme. Youth under 40 from a diverse background, such as researchers, government officials, and students, convene ahead of G7 and G20 Summits and make policy recommendations by submitting the communique to G7 and G20. Y7 & Y20 Summits aim to propose solutions to various challenges faced by today’s international community by promoting mutual understanding among youth at the forefront of the world.

Loshini says: “As the UK economy delegate I aimed to target the needs of young people amidst the cost of living crisis and an increasing lack of employability. Alongside delegates from across the G7 countries we integrated these needs and also considered the importance of sustainability and working towards a circular economy."

Warwick PPE graduate Vikram Khosla received an upReach Ten award at the 2020/21 Student Social Mobility Awards.

The upReach Ten are the ten students across the whole of the UK who, in the opinion of the judges, were most likely to achieve outstanding personal or career success.

Commenting on his award, Vikram said:

“It was a complete surprise to me! I’d been shortlisted for two of the other awards which I didn’t win on the day. Then at the end they announced the upReach Ten awards and I was delighted to receive this one as it encapsulates both my volunteering and mentoring work and my commitment to doing well in my own career.”

Congratulations to Vikram!
