You are invited to attend the One Young World Hong Kong Caucus 2019, hosted by the The HKFYG Leadership Institute
31 March - 1 April 2019
One Young World invites you to join the Hong Kong Caucus of 2019, which provides Ambassadors and other socially-engaged, young leaders with the opportunity to connect face-to-face, explore opportunities for collaboration and gain insight into a range of emerging, global issues. Across the two days, 5 OYW Ambassadors, who are global leaders in their respective fields, will host 15 breakout sessions. Co-founder of One Young World, Kate Robertson, will be in attendance.
Each OYW Ambassador has a particular expertise, and will host panels to reflect that based around five core pillars:
