FUTURE FOUNDATIONS & WLCI PRESENT
The fourth annual Global Social Leaders (GSL) Festival is took place on Friday 16th June 2023.
The GSL Festival is a celebration of youth voice and youth-led action, shining a spotlight on the 300+ young people running projects in 18 countries as part of the GSL Global Goals Competition 2022-23.
Young people, educators and leaders joined us to celebrate the amazing projects from this year’s Global Goals Competition and to hear how young people have been having a positive impact on their communities through their social action projects.
The Festival was a fantastic way to wrap-up the year and we can’t wait to see where these young people go next on their journey as social leaders!
If you were unable to join us for the live event, the recordings are now available to watch! You can also find out more about the Category Winners and the overall winners for both Junior and Senior further down the page.
