Applications are open for the Rappler Scholarship to Attend the One Young World Summit 2025. Rappler is proud to partner with One Young World for a second year, to offer five impactful young leaders the opportunity to participate in the One Young World Summit 2025, which takes place in Munich, Germany, from 3 – 6 November.
The Rappler | One Young World Scholarship will support young Filipinos making an impact in one of two areas:
- Anti-Hate
- Responsible Tech
Sectors that fall under ‘anti-hate’ could include journalism that seeks to promote peace and understanding between groups, advocacies protecting minorities or vulnerable groups, or any initiative that counters hatred, violence, and abuse. For ‘responsible tech’, included are advocacies to protect users of the internet, social media, and generative AI from harm; or the use of tech to protect rights.
Benefits
Scholars will receive:
- Access to the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, Germany.
- Hotel accommodation in Munich, checking in on 2 November and checking out on 7 November.
- Travel to and from Munich (in economy).
- All meals covered (includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on conference days).
- Ground transport between the Summit accommodation and the Summit venue.

- Be a national of the Philippines.
- Demonstrated capacity for leadership.
- Must have a track record of generating positive impact in either anti-hate initiatives, or initiatives focused on responsible technology.

- Rappler Scholars will also be required to hold a community chat about an issue important to their group, sector, or community. The community chat will be held in any of the public chat rooms in the Rappler Communities app. The scholars will be asked to invite members of their community to join the chat.
