One young world

One Young World is an organization that aims to be the voice of young people around the world on critical international issues such as the environment, health and interfaith engagement. Next week they are holding their inaugural summit in London and are expecting 1500 delegates from 192 countries to attend and debate the major socio-political issues we face today. The counsellors include Kofi Annan, Bob Geldof and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

As people say, if you want to know what tomorrow will be like, ask kids. Now, more than ever, everyone can have a voice - next week, One Young World will be the forum for collaboration and unhindered creativity, the place to debate world issues and move our thinking one step forward. This is about bringing people together who are passionate about the world, under the auspices of established world leaders, who are interested in the thoughts and opinions of those closest to the volatile changes that underpin the way society works – on a global scale.

By the end of February, 1500 people will have helped to influence the future direction for the world and will continue to do so through their evolving thoughts and actions.

This is a truly remarkable organisation.
