One Young World

Hosted in Cape Town this year, the One Young World Summit returns to Africa for the first time since 2013.

This is the ultimate gathering of a global community of young leaders and changemakers shaping the future.

From climate activists to tech innovators, human rights advocates to sustainability champions, the Summit unites diverse voices around one mission: building a better world.

Taking place as South Africa marks 50 years since the Soweto Youth Uprising, the Summit will honour this legacy and celebrate the young leaders shaping our future through innovation, entrepreneurship, and bold action.

Counsellors joining the summit this year include Graça Machel, Forest Whitaker, Gillian Anderson, Nomzamo Mbatha, Tendai Mtawaria, Geordin Hill-Lewis, Akani Simbine, Francois Pienaar, Themba Bavuma, Tatjana Smith, Professor Thuli Madonsela and many others.
