What really caught my attention was the highlight of a study trip to the United Nations Headquarters and a visit to CERN. It’s not every day you get to observe real-world diplomacy and explore the birthplace of the World Wide Web—how cool is that?. Plus, the Kofi Annan Youth Grant of $1,000 for the top social project pitch adds an inspiring layer of real impact and recognition.
I also appreciated how the article stressed that no IELTS test is required and that participants can come from anywhere between 16 and 46 years old—super inclusive. The tone feels encouraging and empowering, echoing the spirit of global youth initiatives like UN Youth2030 and the EU Youth Strategy.
