As the global forum for young leaders, One Young World gathers over 2,000 young leaders from +190 countries each year, representing every sector of our global economy. At the annual Summit, Delegates debate, formulate, and share innovative solutions for tackling the most pressing issues the world currently faces. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage in-person in Belfast.
Why are workshops of crucial importance?
Workshops provide Delegates with valuable insights into the issues and topics they are most passionate about.
By attending a workshop, Delegates gain invaluable knowledge for promoting meaningful and effective change within their own organisations and communities. All workshops hosted during the Summit will deliver immediately applicable skills, strategies, techniques and/or ideas which can be implemented in future projects and initiatives later on.
Workshops will take the form of scenario-based challenges, problem solving, challenge or goal setting, as well as interactive discussion based forums to share personal experiences and testimonies. All workshops are impact-driven with a particular emphasis on collaboration and engagement and should reflect the annual Summit Plenary Topics, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specific regional initiatives, or focus on developing applicable leadership skills.
How can hosting a workshop benefit your organisation?
Hosting a workshop at the One Young World 2023 Belfast Summit will provide organisations with a unique opportunity to engage with the next generation of talented young leaders to create actionable, positive change.
Hosting a workshop will allow organisations to acquire a deeper understanding of Delegates’ perspectives on current global challenges, while also enabling organisations to reflect on their own views and expectations when addressing strategic approaches to achieving social good.
Workshops also provide organisations with the platform to share their own expertise with a wide and diverse network of young leaders, whilst offering Delegates critical and practical skills needed to tackle the crises the world faces today.
