Looking for an international youth summit in the UK? if yes, then apply now for the Leading Africa Scholarship to attend a fully-funded One Young World Youth Summit. The Leading Africa Scholarship is a fully funded program designed to offer exceptional young individuals from Africa the chance to participate in the One Young World international conference, held in the United Kingdom. Its primary aim is to encourage and assist young African leaders who are dedicated to creating a positive influence in their local communities and beyond.
Africa has the world’s largest population of young people, with over 60% of its population under 25 years old. With 72% of its labor force in “vulnerable” employment and several countries facing challenges of governance and violent extremism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution presents an opportunity for this young and ambitious population. Due to their significant numbers, they have the potential to bring transformation to various sectors, including governance, energy, infrastructure, medicine, and beyond. In the face of these challenges and opportunities, young leaders are developing meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable region. If you are one of these leaders, One Young World is seeking to bring you to their upcoming annual Summit.
The One Young World Summit is an annual event that brings together outstanding young talents from various sectors worldwide, committed to driving social change. The summit draws delegates from over 190 countries, who receive valuable guidance from influential leaders in politics, business, and humanitarianism, including Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman, Meghan Markle, and many other notable global figures.
