Since 2017 One Young World (OYW) has partnered with the European Commission (EC) to empower young leaders in developing countries to contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding in their communities.
Phase 1
A cohort of 80 OYW Peace Ambassadors were identified to participate in the OYW Summit 2017 which took place in Bogota, Colombia. In addition to the cohort’s participation in the Summit, OYW built a dedicated area for the young leaders on the OYW website, fostered dialogue and shaped debate around the key themes of their engagement through on-line tools, ensured communications and media coverage around the programme and facilitated participation of the young leaders in other relevant peace & security-related events.
Phase 2
OYW renewed its partnership with the EC in 2018 to identify 40 young peace builders from developing countries to participate in the OYW Summit 2018 held in the Hague, The Netherlands. OYW curated additional learning and networking opportunities to further contribute to the personal development of the Peace Ambassadors. These included a workshop on the importance of communications in P/CVE, learning opportunities with Extremely Together, a P/CVE group supported by OYW and The Kofi Annan Foundation and attend the Kigali Caucus in Rwanda in March 2019. The event included the EU Ambassador to Rwanda Mr. Nicola Bellomo as a speaker.
Phase 3
In 2019, OYW and the EC brought together a third cohort of OYW Peace Ambassadors to participate in the OYW Summit 2019 held in London, UK. The cohort participated in Plenary Sessions, attended the Kofi Annan lecture and a selection of speeches from faith leaders in the OYW Interfaith Dialogue. The 2019 Peace Ambassadors also took part in a workshop dedicated to P/CVE. OYW’s main point of contact within the EC, Mathias Madsen, participated in the 2019 Summit.
Following the Summit, OYW planned to deliver a second Peace Caucus in Bogota, Colombia. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the event transformed into a digital engagement, which convened Peace Ambassadors from across the three cohorts and other members of the OYW Ambassador community in LATAM.
Phase 4
OYW and the EC renewed their partnership to empower young leaders working on countering violent extremism by identifying 50 Peace Ambassadors to participate in the OYW Summit 2020 in Munich, Germany. Due to COVID-19 the Summit was postponed to July 2021.
In January 2020, the collaboration between OYW and the EC was transferred from the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP) to the Foreign Policy Instrument. OYW’s main point of contact within the Commission is Sihame Zanifi.
From 22-25 July 2021, the Peace Ambassadors attended the OYW Summit in Munich where 6 selected Peace Ambassadors presented their story and initiative to an audience of over 2,000. Two of the speakers also had the opportunity to run a Q&A session on the interactive stage.
Natalie Pauwels and Maria Sanchez Gil-Cepeda, from the EC attended the Summit and led an interactive session. The Ambassadors also attended an exclusive workshop.
From 12-13 November, Peace Ambassadors were invited to attend the annual digital Peace Caucus.
Phase 5
In 2022 OYW and the European Commission renewed the partnership to identify a cohort of 50 Peace Ambassadors. A month before the Summit, OYW hosted two Welcome Events for the 2022 cohort. During the Summit, the EC had presence in two Presentation Stage Panels, an Interactive Stage Session with two Peace Ambassadors, four Peace Ambassadors were selected as Delegate Speakers who presented their story and initiative to an audience of over 2,000. Peace Ambassadors also took part in an exclusive workshop, an exclusive roundtable and mentor sessions.
After the Summit, the OYW team traveled to Brussels on two occasions (September and November) to discuss the Summit and the next program activities such as the EU Visitors Programme trip, the Annual Peace Event and the three part Video Series.

European Development Days
In addition to delivering the Peace Ambassador Programme, One Young World has also been involved in an organisational capacity with the European Development Days 2018 organised by the EC, which took place on 5 and 6 June 2018.
