Sir Bob Geldof delivered a powerful speech during the opening ceremony of the One Young World summit in Zurich, Switzerland. More powerful than his speech last year in London if you were to ask my opinion. His speech has been the inspiration of One Young World ambassadors to come up with a global campaign called Wake Up Call which was launched during the closing ceremony of One Young World.

Being part of the core six ambassadors this year, assigned for Global Health, we introduced the movement when we were filmed by One Young Newsroom.
About Wake Up Call
The Wake Up Call is a project initiated by young people, not aiming to be heroes, just a normal bunch of people like you, that had the opportunity to meet somewhere in the world and discuss the issues that they face.
They realized that they had much more in common than was different and decided that it was their responsibility to make something happen. The decided that it was their job to take forward their commitments and Wake Up their people and their Governments.
The project is simple: Getting as many people as possible peacefully demonstrating/calling government officials/flooding social media sites, all over the world on the same day, spreading the slogan: this is a Wake Up Call!!!
