Ten Bangladeshi youths, who are found to have made position contribution to the society, will attend ‘One Young World Summit 2018’ to be held in The Hague, The Netherlands, from 17 to 20 October.
The youths, who are considered changemakers, will accompany Nobel Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus, who is a keynote speaker at the event alongside other luminaries such as Kofi Annan and Mary Robinson.
On Thursday, Prof Yunus held a special briefing meeting with the 10 young delegates, said a news release issued by the Yunus Centre.
As happens each year, the 10 youths were selected by the Yunus Centre, competitively from among hundreds of applications to attend the OYW summit.
The summit, the release added, is the premier conference for young people working to instill positive social impact in communities.
The One Young World, founded in 2009 by David Jones and Kate Robertson, is a UK-based non-profit organisation that gathers together the brightest young people from around the world, empowering them to make lasting connections and knowledge-exchange to create positive social change.
This year, five girls and five boys from different universities in Bangladesh have been selected through a vigorous screening process.
Four of the delegates are from Grameen Bank borrower families currently studying at various universities in Bangladesh like Patuakhali Science and Technology University, University of Dhaka, Eastern University and Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing with Grameen Bank education loan.
The selected team will participate in the event and will work as youth ambassadors from Bangladesh on different thematic issues in future, said the release.
The OYW organises an annual four-day long summit where young delegates, backed by the One Young World counselors debate and formulate solutions for the pressing issues the world faces.
