Apply for Leading The Pacific Scholarship 2019

 

Deadline: 15 April 2019

Applications are open for Leading the Pacific Scholarship 2019 which is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from the Pacific region are represented at the One Young World Summit 2019 in London.

 

Across the entire Pacific region, environmental issues dominate the agenda. Locally, communities are struggling against challenges of waste management, deforestation, overfishing, and the after-effects of nuclear testing. These threats will soon render many of the Pacific Islandsuninhabitable, but the regions receive negligible coverage in the global news. Leaders have struggled to connect this diverse collection of islands, but Pacific societies have prospered within their remote locations and have the potential to unite and drive change within the region.
