Ready to empower the next generation of leaders? Our six-lesson curriculum helps students learn from inspiring leaders and develop the critical-thinking, creative problem-solving and communication skills they need to address challenges in their communities.

This year, students become "news decoders" – they'll develop the critical-thinking, creative problem-solving and media-literacy skills to navigate through fake news and polarisation. Students will learn from leading experts through lessons that unpick the current media landscape, including the impact of AI, social media and press regulation. The programme concludes with students pitching a "Project for Change" to improve media literacy within their school or local community.

The Leadership for Change Prize offers students the chance to submit their projects as part of a global competition. Winners will receive up to £1,000 and mentorship to bring their projects to life.
