In the lead-up to the Fifth Summit of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) grouping, the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) invited high-school learners to debate the key issues surrounding the BRICS and develop a Youth BRICS Communique containing their recommendations.

Two learners will present the Communique to members of the press and diplomatic corps on the day before the Summit. In this video, some of the youth participants explain their views on the BRICS and what they learned from the experience.
