Will You Grab the Opportunity?

Hi, my name is Milenko and I was an Ambassador at the 2012 One Young World Summit in Pittsburgh, representing Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Summit, which impacted my life so much and marked initial steps of my journey, brought me to London one month ago as a winner of the UK Trade & Investment Sirius competition for the brightest global startups projects.
The Thing About Corporate Citizenship
[[[image-1 large]]]
The word citizenship implies that one co-exists with others. While technically possible, you can’t really be the only citizen of a country. Its definition in the Oxford English Dictionary is, “a legally recognised subject or national of a state,” i.e. the subject belongs and therefore shares its existence and identity with others.
Choose your Coordinator
Hi Everyone! My name is Lana and I am the outgoing One Young World Coordinating Ambassador for UK1. I want to tell you about my experience in the position and the 2015 Coordinating Ambassador elections.
Ambassadors share similar feelings when attending their first Summit. My first was in Johannesburg in 2013. It was a fantastic location, but it could have been in a tent, in a car park and I think I’d have felt just about the same.
Coordinating Ambassador election open
The election for the 2015 One Young World Coordinating Ambassadors is open. The One Young World community will now decide who takes the Coordinating Ambassador positions by casting their votes.
Coordinating Ambassadors will play a pivotal role within the One Young World community throughout 2015. Amongst other things, the Coordinators will research and help to promote Ambassador initiatives, gather the community's views and opinions in order shape the agenda of the 2015 Summit and organise regional events for Ambassadors.
Focused on the fight against Ebola
How in our modern day, does a virus such as Ebola take hold and create chaos, infecting over 13,000 and killing over 4,8002?
The answer is, as always, in the numbers, specifically in the case of infrastructure.
Did you know that Liberia and Sierra Leone each only have approx. one doctor per 100,000 people; Guinea, 10 doctors for the same population size? Compare that to the United States; where each state has between 200-400 doctors per 100,000 people, and you begin to see how a simple virus in the U.S. can completely uproot a region like West Africa.
