What to Expect from the One Young World Action Accelerator 2025
Starting on 14 January 2025, the One Young World Action Accelerator 2025 will empower Ambassadors from the 2024 Montréal Summit to turn their ideas into real-world impact.
The programme consists of six core modules which support Ambassadors in their effort to launch and scale sustainability initiatives after attending the Summit. Each module features an online workshop, an interactive seminar, and accompanying online and offline resources. This year, for the first time the programme will include online Mentor Sessions with industry-leading One Young World Counsellors.
At the end of the Accelerator, participants apply to compete in a Practice Pitch Competition with the chance to win a place at the #OYW2025 Summit in Munich.

Prior to the programme starting, there will be an online launch event on the Thursday 5 December. Register for the Accelerator before Monday 2 December if you would like to attend this exclusive introductory session.
We will also be releasing a Skills Discovery survey during the launch event!

All participants will have an opportunity to take an individualised developmental assessment to learn what skills they have that will help them on their journey to impact.
