Okayama University student Saki Takatori, a fourth-year education major and Ai Kiriake, a third-year law major, participated in the global youth summit One Young World (OYW) as members of Japan’s delegation. The conference was held from October 4 to 7 in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, South America. Okayama University has been participating as an official partner since the summit was held in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2015. Every year, it sends two student representatives and an observer, Atsufumi Yokoi, Okayama University Vice-Executive Director and Senior University Global Administrator (UGA). This will be the third consecutive year for Okayama University to participate, following the 2015 conference in Bangkok, Thailand, and 2016 conference in Ottawa, Canada.

This year was the eighth year of OYW. About 1,500 people from 196 countries around the world participated. The 2018 summit is scheduled to be held in The Hague, Netherlands.
