Young Global Changers

The Think 20 Summit GLOBAL SOLUTIONS brought young visionaries from around the globe to Berlin from 28 – 31 May 2017 in order to involve the views and ideas of the next generation into global problem-solving. The Young Global Changers scholarship programme aims at people with a passion for change and a background in social volunteering, academia, technology, start-ups, journalism or blogging.

Over 1300 early-career professionals from all over the world applied for the programme. A jury selected 100 of them to come to Berlin, attend the Think 20 Summit and work on global solutions themselves.

The selected Young Global Changers are on average 28 years of age, have very diverse academic and professional backgrounds and represent 100 different countries.
