GSF brought together more than 500 sixth form students from around England to discuss ways of fighting the problem of poverty in the world, giving them the tools to talk about development issues in their schools and communities.
The Minister offered some ways the students could get involved in local level campaigning. He said:
Young people can play a crucial role in bringing about change. I have really enjoyed talking to the students today and it is encouraging to see that young people want to take action in their own communities.
Students can sign up for the 1GOAL campaign, buy ethical products or tell their friends and families about development.
