Workshop & Action Sessions

During the Summit you will have the opportunity to attend a workshop session hosted by a One Young World partner organisation, and Action Sessions organised by the One Young World team.  

Places fill up fast - so make sure you're ready when the registration goes live!

To accommodate our global delegation, we will be releasing workshop places in two rounds on Thursday 8 July.

  • Round 1: Thursday 8 July 9:00 am BST (British Summer Time)
  • Round 2: Thursday 8 July 5:00 pm BST (British Summer Time)

Make sure to set an alarm for the time and date when registration goes live in your timezone so you don't forget when you need to be online. Be aware that places are allocated on a first come first serve basis.

Please note the example sessions below are either hosted in Munich or digitally. You will have the ability to select the sessions based on how you're participating in the Summit.

Action Sessions

Action Sessions will offer Delegates the chance to meet with other attendees who are working across the same issue areas as they are. With the OYW Summit acting as a convening force for young leaders, these sessions are critical in ensuring those who are leaders in their fields link up, collaborate and continue to exchange valuable knowledge post-Summit.

Sessions will be hosted in the morning and evening to accomodate as many timezones as possible.
