One Young World, the global community for young leaders, announces its 2022
cohort of 50 Peace Ambassadors to attend the upcoming Summit in Manchester in
partnership with the European Commission.
It supports young leaders working to prevent violence and extremism within
their communities. This year's programme has a timely focus on the role of
disinformation in fuelling hate speech, conflict and violent extremism.
Since 2017, One Young World and the European Commission has supported 240 young
people involved in peacebuilding and conflict prevention initiatives throughout
the world to make the future safer.
The Peace Ambassadors will participate in four transformative days of speeches,
panels, networking, and workshops, where they are counselled by influential
political, business, and humanitarian leaders such as former UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman, and The Duchess of Sussex.
Delegates have the opportunity to share a platform, challenge, engage and make
lasting connections with global leaders with the world's media in attendance.
The Summit will take place at the Manchester Central from September 5th to 8th,
with the Opening Ceremony held at the internationally renowned concert venue
Bridgewater Hall.
Ella Robertson McKay, Managing Director of One Young World, commented: "We're
delighted to welcome this year's cohort of Peace Ambassadors to Manchester in
partnership with the European Commission. We continue to be impressed by the
resilience and commitment of young leaders across the world to create a safer
future.
"We're proud to be able to host so many inspiring and creative minds from all
over the world, providing them with a platform and ensuring their voices are
heard. Our Summit provides the knowledge, skills, network and platform for
young leaders to affect meaningful and impactful change."
