2023 Belfast Summit
Delegate Speakers
One Young World is proud to announce the exceptional young leaders selected as Delegate Speakers at our Summit in Belfast this year.
Delegate Speakers deliver keynotes for each plenary topic: mental health, climate emergency, food crisis, education, and peace and reconciliation. They will share their incredible stories of finding purpose, overcoming obstacles, being inspired, and persevering no matter their background or what they hope to achieve. Their stories and the impact they are making are at the heart of our Summit.
The speakers were selected through a highly competitive application process to speak on our presentation stage.
