Do you have what it takes to be the next Rising Star?
Mark Cowne, founder of Kruger Cowne, wowed the One Young World audience this month with the amazing announcement that he will be sending one lucky 18-30 year old into space. Through Kruger Cowne’s Rising Star Programme, one lucky applicant will be catapulted, not only into space but also, on to the world stage.
The talent agency and world-class speaker’s bureau is offering the chance to be amongst stars in both the literal and figurative sense, with the successful applicant to be added to their roster and mentored by some of the planet’s leaders in fields including sport, music, entertainment and business.
“Fostering the world’s next great leaders, we plan to nurture individuals so that one of them can literally experience the world from a completely new perspective, inspiring them to create long lasting memories that they can share with the next generation.” Mark Cowne, Kruger Cowne.
This once in a lifetime chance provides an opportunity for an outstanding member of the public from anywhere in the world to share their experience of this incredible adventure. Additionally the Rising Star will also contribute solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues as a result of sponsorship to next year’s One Young World Summit 2015 in Bangkok.
