Deadline: April 15, 2019.

Are you a young leader from Asia? You could attend the One Young World 2019 Summit in London from 22 – 25 October via our flagship Scholarship.

Leading Asia is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from Asia are represented at the One Young World Summit 2019 in London.

Across the Asian continent, every state is confronted by a series of interdependent challenges. After years of prosperity and growth, the trade-war between China and USA may have transformative effects on the structure of the entire region. The 4IR is predicted to cause upheaval for industries that have sustained economies for decades. There has been a rapid rise of censorship across the South-East Asian region, increasingly in response to domestic instability. Improving the treatment of ethnic-minority groups remains an urgent priority. The region is chiefly responsible for extraordinary amounts of plastic pollution.

In the midst of these challenges, it is young leaders who are devising meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable region. Are you one of those leaders? If so, One Young World is looking to bring you to the next annual Summit in London.
