One Young World
Annual global summit for young leaders
Over 7,000 delegates from around the world united to discuss the critical challenges faced by young people today, exploring solutions that will shape a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
For two consecutive years, we curated the opening and closing ceremonies at London’s Royal Albert Hall and The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, championing emerging local talent and thriving artists.
We locally cast professional ballerinas, guitarists, spoken-word poets and aerialists, with a special feature from the award-winning musical, Everyone’s Talking About Jamie.
A poignant ballet performance of The Dying Swan accompanied Elizabeth Hoff’s evocative video on the dangers of ocean plastic pollution, urging attendees to reflect and take action for a healthier planet.
T-shirts designed by rising fashion designer, Patrick McDonald featured a QR code with details on the sustainably sourced cotton and reusable materials in each piece.
Countless hours of preparation and planning went into coordinating this event to accommodate a global audience and manage the logistics for over 7,000 delegates.
