Starting in March, One Young World (OYW) has hosted monthly sessions for incoming Delegates. Led by members of the OYW Community, the sessions welcome incoming Delegates to OYW, provide an overview of the issues shaping the Munich 2021 Summit, and give them the opportunity to network with fellow Delegates from around the world. Each session features keynote speaker(s) before splitting off into breakout rooms.
