ore than 1,800 young leaders from 190 countries converged in the International City of Peace and


Justice – The Hague in the Netherlands – recently to attend the 9th Annual One Young World (OYW) summit. The summit, which took place over four days, provides young leaders with unparalleled access to a global network of peers and counselors who share a vision of making the world a better place.
