Telenor Youth Forum 2016 in Oslo, Norway (Fully Funded)

Deadline: August 31, 2016 (May vary per market)
Location: Oslo, Norway

Fully Funded !!

Overview:

More than two dozen standout youth from around the world are hand-selected each year in a rigorous screening and application process, all in an effort to represent their home countries in the Telenor Youth Forum.

The Telenor Youth Forum is a global platform that is built upon the idea of “digitalization for peace”. It provides these young leaders from around the world with an arena to come together and tackle global, social challenges. The journey begins in Oslo, in December, during the week of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. The youth will form teams, with each team dedicated to a social challenge. They will spend their first days together, developing a plan for creating dialogue, engagement and potentially a solution, using digital technology, for how that challenge can be addressed.

The journey continues virtually after leaving Oslo, with teams carrying out their plans from their home countries. They meet again in Bangkok, where they will continue working with the Nobel Peace Center and begin the process of creating digital exhibitions about their projects.

The young leaders attending the Telenor Youth Forum come from very different places, but they are united in their passion to foster understanding, prosperity and ultimately peace.

One huge event. A year of discovery. Countless possibilities.Telenor Youth Forum is a big step on an epic journey.
