Deadline: March 20, 2024
Applications are open for the Z Zurich Foundation Scholarship to Attend the One Young World Summit 2024. The Z Zurich Foundation Scholarship 2024 will allow 30 young leaders working on prevention-focused mental well-being projects, adaptation-focused climate resilience projects, or projects enabling social equity through education, employability or entrepreneurship solutions, to participate in the One Young World Summit 2024, which takes place in Montréal, Canada, from September 18 – 21. If you are a young leader working to champion any of these causes, this scholarship could be for you.
The Z Zurich Foundation creates brighter futures together for vulnerable people. Prevention is at the forefront of their work. Their three pillars – adapting to climate change, improving mental wellbeing, and enabling social equity – are increasingly urgent, complex issues that have far-reaching impacts on individuals, communities and society as a whole.
The Foundation focuses on helping disadvantaged communities to adapt to a changing climate. They are building a global community dedicated to improving the mental well-being of young people, and they are providing youth with the skills, education and resources they need to reach their full potential. They believe that the key to creating a better future is connection – fostering relationships between those in the know and those most in need and tackling society’s challenges from the ground up. This is why they are committed to supporting impactful leaders to participate in the annual One Young World Summit, the world’s most international community of young leaders.
Access to the One Young World Indigenous Day
The One Young World Indigenous Day will occur on Tuesday, 17 September, in Montréal prior to the core Summit dates. This event will bring together young Indigenous and First Nation leaders worldwide to share their experiences, learn from each other, and engage with other One Young World Delegates. The Indigenous Day will reflect the cultural diversity and traditions of the host nation and provide a platform for Indigenous and First Nations youth to showcase their cultures and traditions.
One Young World’s Indigenous Day will be open to scholars, delegates and Ambassadors from indigenous communities around the world.
