One Young World is an annual summit for the young leaders of tomorrow. Nicknamed the “Davos Youth Forum”, it manifests the reality of a common humanity and the shared experience of all people in a single world. It is the first world congress for young leaders. Its aim is to connect and bring together the youngest and most talented people and ensure that their concerns, opinions and solutions are heard and taken into consideration by those in power, whether by governments, businesses or in any other sector.

In partnership with the China-United States Exchange Foundation, One Young World is launching the CUSEF Young Leaders Scholarship 2024 to identify eight outstanding young leaders from all over the world. The Scholars will be selected based on their proven positive social impact in tackling global challenges such as climate change, poverty, gender equality and public health.
