What does former US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power consider to be the challenges of our time, and how does she think young people can tackle these?
Interviewing her will be Maya Ghazal; a recipient of the Princess Diana Legacy Award, Maya is a prominent advocate for refugee rights. A panel of #iwill Ambassadors will also be joining the conversation to share their insights and to explore how young people can create change.
Over the past seven years, we have built a movement for change through the #iwill campaign.
Over 1000 organisations and 700 young people supporting the campaign are transforming the way children and young people are viewed by society, and championing the positive role they play within it. Thanks to the collective efforts of #iwill campaign partners, more organisations and young people across the UK are working together to grow the Power Of Youth.
Each November, since 2014, #iwillWeek celebrates the work of #iwill partners, and the children and young people of our nation doing youth social action. The Power of Youth Festival took place in #iwillWeek 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was so important to recognise the achievements of our young people in the face of the pandemic and question why they are still being left out of so many conversations.
You can watch the entire festival again from the comfort of your own home – be challenged by young activists and learn from organisations. All sessions were, and remain, free to attend.
Together we’ll take the #iwill movement to the next level.
