One Young World is the world’s first global youth leadership summit.

Bringing together over six hundred delegates age 25 and under from over 100 countries, One Young World combines the social power of the Internet with the energy and ideas of global youth to address the most challenging issues of today.

The delegates, young people who demonstrated leadership ability in their current daily sphere and involvement in a social or charitable enterprise, were designated by their teachers, employers, or governments and their selection verified by the One Young World Delegate Team.

One Young World focuses on Plenary Sessions at which delegates are guided by a group of international luminaries, called Counsellors, whose role is to lend their stature, their reputation for leadership and their moral authority to ensure gravitas for the views and efforts of the delegates to express the will and ideas of their generation and their young world.

Clarence Seedorf is the only sportsman appointed as Counsellor, joining three Nobel Prize Laureates, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former UN Secretary Kofi Annan and the founding father of microcredit lending Muhammad Yunus, along with Bob Geldof, the UN’s Nick Haysom, and others.

Clarence Seedorf participated to two plenary sessions:

The first regarding "Interfaith Dialogue", whose aim was to vote on a resolution: “in the belief that war must never be carried out in the name of religion, we call upon: Leaders and followers of all faiths to unequivocally commit to deliver peace amongst nations, races and creeds.”

The second, "Beyond Sport" was added to give special recognition to the fact that sport is an aspect of modern life that has a power beyond itself: it can unite, mobilize, inspire and heal individuals, communities and countries. It aims to highlight to the young leaders the power of sport and its potential role in tackling global issues. During this session, Clarence Seedorf presented a special gift to Archbishop Tutu, his AC Milan shirt with a special dedication and a pair of boots specially crafted in purple color.
