The #TogetherApart Series

We may be physically distancing, but the One Young World Community is coming together to support each other. We’re a global Community that works, as one, to highlight the work of inspiring leaders and changemakers.

One Young World’s #TogetherApart Series draws on the wisdom, experience and insight of our members, allowing every one to ask questions, tell stories and share best practice.

One Young World is committed to combating Fake News and so we are connecting our community with experts to help people navigate COVID-19. We are also creating conversations with business leaders and policy professionals to create resources to help everyone mitigate the economic impacts they may be facing.

TUNE IN AND JOIN THE CONVERSATION.

 

If you can survive in the current environment, you are ready to succeed in other environments.

Paul Polman
