As young people living through rapid change — environmental, social, and technological — we know education must do more than prepare us for tests; it must prepare us for life. In this interactive workshop, we’ll ask: what will it take to equip students to shape a better future?
We believe one answer lies in reimagining who we see as leaders. Too often, students are told to wait — to finish school, to gain experience, to grow older — before they can lead. But the challenges we face today can’t wait. This session will explore how education can shift the notion of age and leadership, creating spaces where students are recognized as leaders now — capable of shaping change in their schools, communities, and beyond. Together, we’ll unpack the mindsets, environments, and partnerships that can turn learning into a force for collective action and transformation.
