The Weekly Challenge, 22nd November 2021 – The Power of Youth

This week we are celebrating the power of youth with a challenge inspired by #iwill week! 

#iwill is a movement comprised of over 1000 organisations and 700 young #iwill Ambassadors & Champions from across the UK. They are united by a shared belief that all children and young people should be supported and empowered to make a positive difference on the issues that affect their lives, their communities, and broader society.

The campaign wants to make participation in social action the norm for people under 20.

#iwill week is an annual celebration of the work young people, #iwill ambassadors and champions, and #iwill partners are leading up and down the UK. This year, the focus centres on ‘Building the Movement’.

Do 

Think of a young person who is making positive change in the world around them through social action. It could be someone you know in your community or someone you don’t know. Celebrate them in any creative way you like, it could be through writing, painting, sculpture, anything! How have they changed your perspective or inspired you? How can your creation share this impact they have had on you and others? 

 

If you have more time…

Celebrate another young person! 

 

Think 

How can you empower young people or your peers to make positive social change?
