Application is currently ongoing for the Z Zurich Foundation Scholarship and Participation in the Annual One Young World Summit 2022.
The Z Zurich Foundation equips vulnerable people with the tools they need to better protect themselves from harm, adapt, and prosper in an ever-changing world. They strive for a more equal world in which everyone has autonomy, choice, and control over their own destiny.
Adapting to climate change, boosting mental health, and enabling social fairness aren’t causes they choose at random for the Z Zurich Foundation. However, they believe that connection is the key to building a better future — forging ties between those with the knowledge and those who are most in need, and working together to solve society’s problems from the ground up.
