One Young World Intro to Summit

One Young World is a global leadership summit for young leaders age 25 and under, united from all the world's 192 countries to address major global challenges. The Inaugural Summit of One Young World took place on Feb. 8-10, 2010, in London, and I was one of the lucky ones to be invited to the opening night kick off party. And what a night it was. The room was packed full of the 800+ delegates from all over the world, and we got to hear from a couple of the counselors Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Bob Geldof. As well, Londons Mayor Boris Johnson said a few words, as did the founders of the summit David Jones and Kate Robertson. An incredibly inspiring evening that left me amazed and covered in goose bumps. Hopefully the 3 day summit was a success and I look forward to reading about the resolutions that the young people and counselors came up with. In the mean time, here is a taster for how things kicked off....
