One Young World Enterprising Futures Scholarship for African Students (Fully-funded) 2023

This year’s One Young World Summit will see 2,000 young leaders from 190+ countries descend to Belfast for the global forum for young leaders, during which delegates will present and debate solutions to our time’s most pressing issues alongside senior leaders. This will offer young entrepreneurs an unparalleled experience to become engaged, build on successful initiatives, and connect with other changemakers around the world.

 

 

 

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and their youth entrepreneurship initiative, Orange Corners are committed to investing in education and youth employment for this reason; aiming to improve prospects for young people, particularly in developing countries and fragile states, by bridging the gap between the skills young people learn and what the labour market demands.

Local entrepreneurs play a key role in achieving this, creating key jobs and providing youth employment opportunities for those in their communities. As such, the Dutch MFA and Orange Corners are pleased to launch their annual scholarship in collaboration with One Young World to offer young leaders and entrepreneurs from these countries a place at the annual One Young World Summit.
