ELIZABETH ZION
Poet, Writer, and Keynote Speaker
Elizabeth Zion is a 19-year-old writer, poet and keynote speaker from Dublin, Ireland. She is a human rights advocate using poetry to shine light on contemporary social issues as well as a personal outlet for emotion. She was nominated to serve on UNICEF’s Global Youth Advisory Board to urge government leaders to commit to concrete action in post-Covid.
She has written articles on various human rights issues such as a homelessness, immigration and child poverty for the Irish Times and The Journal . Recently she was published in the ‘What You Need To Know About Me’ anthology; a powerful new anthology that centers on the immigration narratives of young people. As part of her advocacy she was opportune to write and perform a TED Talk on the topic of family reunification which garnered over 1.75 million views.
She was selected to join a community of young people on the Common Futures Conversations platform. Common Futures Conversations is a flagship initiative that strives to create a community of young African and European leaders and involve them and their ideas in major policy discussions with presidents, prime ministers, and other policymakers from Africa and Europe.
She is in her penultimate year of university in University College Dublin and she studies Politics, International Relations and Social Justice.
