Gavin Levy told GoSee: ‘corporate social investment and charity work is key to the Cape Town Productions Ethos and it took very little motivation for us to proudly associate ourselves with Claire Singer from Vanity Fair UK and the One Young World Initiative for the 2013 Summit held in Johannesburg.’
David Jones, Kate Robertson and Founding Corporate Partner Havas founded One Young World in 2009. It is a UK based non-profit organisation that provides opportunities for young adults to join in a global network of socially committed individuals with leadership potential.
Or as One Young World puts it: ‘the One Young World Summit brings together the young generation’s brightest and best to ensure that their concerns, opinions and solutions are heard. From there, they take action, driving positive change in their communities, companies and countries. More countries are represented at the annual One Young World Summit than any other global youth event other than the Olympics. An awesome opportunity to be a part of something great and to work alongside some of the world’s most influential leaders.’
Perou photographed the spread for VANITY FAIR, which we present here on GoSee. Big names such as Kofi Annan, Bob Geldof, Arianna Huffington, Boris Bekker, David Jones, Kate Robertson, Richard Branson, Lauren Bush, Francois Pienaar, Erik Caldwell, Ahmed Kathrada, Ron Garan, Lily Cole as well as delegates who attended the summit, posed for his camera.
Gavin on the successful production: ‘a big thank you to all who put the time and effort in to make this shoot go off seamlessly and for making it such a great success!’ In 2014 OYW will takes place in Dublin, Ireland.
