Where young leaders start leading.
One Young World is the premier global forum for young people of leadership calibre. The annual Summit brings together the young generation’s brightest and best to ensure that their concerns, opinions and solutions are heard. Then, they take action, driving positive change in their communities and countries. With more than 125 initiatives to date, almost four million people have been impacted directly by One Young World Ambassadors since its first Summit in 2010.
Watch highlights from One Young World Summit 2011 in Zurich, where 1,200 delegates from 171 countries were guided by a line-up of Counsellors that included Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Bob Geldof KBE, HKH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Donna Karan, Roger Federer, Arab Spring catalyst Wael Ghonim and Jamie Oliver.
