YFF at One Young World Summit!

Date: October 1st, 2024


Our Founder recently came back from the One Young World summit in Montreal! He was selected as one of the Japan delegates with full scholarship and had the opportunity to represent Youth For Future at the summit.


The annual One Young World Summit convenes the brightest young talent from every country and sector, working to accelerate social impact. Delegates from 190+ countries are counselled by influential political, business and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle, amongst many other global figures.


He made various valuable connections to accelerate the activities of YFF which we are really excited to get to work with. On top of this, he even got the opportunity to briefly talk with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.


Below, you can find his comment on the experience:

The One Young World summit was the best experience I have had in my entire life. I have never gained so much inspiration and motivation from anything this much before.


It is a one of a kind community and I was shocked at how amazing each person I met was. I have never been surrounded by so much passion, drive, and inspiring people each with their own initiatives and organizations. We also had the opportunity to hear from so many great speakers such as the Prime Minister of Canada.


The summit ended with me (and I’m sure many others) crying both the night it ended, when I woke up, and on the flight back to Japan today. When the ambassadors said that you would make life-long friends, I didn’t believe them, but it’s only when you experience this summit, you understand what they mean.


Having the privilege to come to this summit and meet so many inspirational people, it is now our responsibility to take action. And oh my Japan- we have a lot of work and catching up to do with you.
