The Ubuntu United Nations is a dialogue platform that seeks to bring changemakers worldwide to speak on issues affecting them, to learn and share ideas with leaders such as Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, Former Heads of State and other global leaders through Intergenerational dialogue.
The Ubuntu United Nations is a free-of-charge and certified training program inspired by the Ubuntu philosophy for young leaders that seeks to encourage and commit young leaders and changemakers to Human Rights advocacy and Social Justice.
The first edition counted more than 4000 applications, and world-renowned guests, such as Mr. António Guterres (General Secretary of the United Nations), Mr. Muahammad Yunus (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate), under the high patronage of Mr. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa (President of the Portuguese Republic) and Mr. Ramos Horta (East Timor President and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate) as a chair of the event.
Given all the success of the first edition of Ubuntu United Nations, this second edition aims to go even further by bringing the theme “LIVING TOGETHER IN PEACE” to the table, while reaching young people from different countries, showing that they are agents of change with an enormous capacity of servant leadership.
The 2024 edition counts the presence of President José Ramos-Horta as chair, Mama Shamsa (Awarded with the Zayed Award for Human Fraternity), Pastora Mira (Colombian Human Rights Activist), Mr. Muahammad Yunus (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate), Adama Dieng (former United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of genocide), Jorge Moreira da Silva (Executive Director of the United Nations Office for Project Services), Jonh Volmink (President of the Ubuntu Global Network), Licypriya Kangujam (One of the World’s Youngest Climate Activists), David Livingstone Smith (Professor of Philosophy at the University of New England), Princess Rym Ali (Princess of Jordan) and Francisco Vera (Climate Change Activist).
