We are One Young World, empowering and developing young leaders to build a fair, sustainable future for all.
The Summit
It all begins with the annual One Young World Summit - the beating heart of what we are about. For young leaders, the Summit is the landmark event of the year. It is a chance for the individuals responsible for shaping the future of our world, to come together to confront the biggest challenges facing humanity. The Summit is the ultimate place to be inspired, share learnings, and connect. Together we raise the bar for what it is possible to achieve as leaders, individually and collectively. The One Young World Summit 2025 will take place in Munich, Germany from 3 - 6 November 2025.
"The world's biggest and most impactful youth leadership Summit."
