Are you active and engaged in your community? Are you between 16 and 25? Do you have a strong opinion on how to improve the state of the world and a passion for global economic, social and political affairs?

After a week long intensive session, participants will prepare a brief that a peer-elected group of six Changemakers will present at the next World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2011.

The selected 60 participants are from the following countries:
