Delegate Speakers play a significant role in the Summit. Unlike traditional conferences, One Young World provides a platform for young leaders to speak alongside Presidents, Nobel Prize Winners, global business leaders and other inspiring global leaders. Delegate Speakers are a truly international cohort, sharing their impactful work, personal experiences, views and opinions with more than 2000 Summit attendees and the watching world.
Each Speaker is personally introduced by a Counsellor before delivering a five minute speech during one of the five Plenary Sessions. The Plenary Sessions are the foundations from which all content at the Summit is developed - this year the five Plenary challenges are:
Indigenous Voices
How can we put indigenous voices at the heart of global decision making?
The Climate and Ecological Crisis
How can we protect the world’s water systems?
Artificial Intelligence
How can humanity make AI a force for good?
Health Equality
How can we eradicate gender inequality in healthcare?
Peace
How can we support young peace-builders to deliver lasting peace?
More information about the Plenary Challenges can be found here.
