Goals / Remit
One Young World was founded in 2009 by David Jones and Kate Robertson. We are a UK-based charity that gathers together the brightest young leaders from around the world, empowering them to make lasting connections to create positive change.
We stage an annual Summit where the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations are joined by world leaders, acting as the One Young World Counsellors.
At the Summit, delegates debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces.
At past Summits delegates were joined by a line-up of Counsellors that included Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof, Kofi Annan, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Emma Watson, Jack Dorsey and Arianna Huffington.
To date One Young World Summits have been held in:
2010 - London, UK
2011 - Zurich, Switzerland
2012 - Pittsburgh, USA
2013 - Johannesburg, South Africa
2014 - Dublin, Ireland
2015 - Bangkok, Thailand
2016 - Ottawa, Canada
After each Summit, the delegates, who are then known as One Young World Ambassadors, work on their own initiatives or lend the power of the One Young World network to those initiatives already in existence. Of those in employment, many return to their companies and set about creating change from within, energising their corporate environment.
The Ambassador community is supported by a dedicated One Young World team whose mission is to maximise the benefits each Ambassador is able to draw from the network. Services they provide include:
- Creating and connecting Ambassadors with opportunities to further their work and development post-Summit. Opportunities range from grants to speaking engagements.
- Making fruitful connections between Ambassadors to share skills and best practice to further their work.
- Highlighting and raising awareness of Ambassador initiatives through One Young World’s online platforms and mainstream media outreach.
- Coordinating local events to give Ambassadors the opportunity to meet and network in between Summits.
- Involving Ambassadors in One Young World’s Global Consultation Process, which is used to define the agenda of each Summit, thereby ensuring that the event is a true reflection of the Ambassador community which it serves.Main EU files targeted

Communication activities
One Young World is a delivery partner on a youth led project known as Extremely Together.
Extremely Together is a counter violent extremism (CVE) initiative led by the Kofi Annan Foundation and supported by European Comission funding.
The project has brought together ten young leaders with proven track-records in preventing and countering violent extremism in their communities. Under the banner “Extremely Together” they have pooled their ideas to produce a toolkit enabling them, their peers and thousands of young people around the world, to turn the tide in the fight against extremism.
The ten Extremely Together advocates have also made appearances at a number of national and international events to propagate the role that young people can play in combating violent extremism.
The One Young World Summit 2016 in Ottawa featured an Extremely Together panel session which saw the ten advocates joined by Kofi Annan to present their work.
One Young World has assisted this initiative from its outset by offering advice at the strategic planning stage and assisting with the recruitment and selection of the ten advocates. On an ongoing basis One Young World hired a CVE expert on a part-time basis who is seconded to the Kofi Annan Foundation to coordinate Extremely Together. One Young World provides ongoing communications support to Extremely Together by promoting the project through the OYW Ambassador network.
