Overview

The Break the Hate Challenge invites young leaders aged 18-35 to combat intolerance in their communities. Supported by One Young World and PACT!, this initiative aims to amplify voices against hate, offering winners full funding to attend the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, a chance to present their work globally, and a £5,000 grant to enhance their impact. This challenge seeks innovative, courageous ideas that foster empathy and challenge the status quo.

This is your moment. If you're done playing nice with hate, if you want to call it out, tear it down and refuse to shut up...we have a challenge for you.
Hate has gone viral. From racism and xenophobia to antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, misogyny, and attacks on the LGBTQI+ community—intolerance is exploding. Fuelled by algorithms, echo chambers, apathy and fear, hate speech is spreading faster, louder, and uglier than ever before.
While this might have become the norm, it's not normal. It's time to turn up the volume on empathy and break hate.
PACT! and One Young World are coming back together to launch the Break the Hate Challenge.
This award goes to the ones who don’t flinch—who fight hate with bold ideas, loud voices, and absolutely no apologies.
Three winners will
Receive full funding to join the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich.
Get the opportunity to present their work to leaders from 190+ countries at the Summit.
Receive £5,000 to accelerate their impact.
Oh, and let’s not forget the achievement of breaking hate and creating something stronger in its place.
