GSL INSPIRE

This is an opportunity for young people to take the stage with key thinkers and share what matters to them. Young voices matter, so make yours heard.

Our goal is to create positive social change through talks that inform and, most importantly, inspire new audiences to take their own action and join the GSL movement.

Who can speak/host GSL INSPIRE events:

  • Participants as part of our programmes are invited to speak about issues they are passionate about.
  • Global Social Leaders anywhere in the world can host their own event where they can speak about what they feel passionate about and ask speakers to also inspire them.
  • Partner schools can host their own event for their young people.
  • GSL competition teams can send us any presentations or talks they give as part of their Global Goals projects.

ABOUT GLOBAL SOCIAL LEADERS

Global Social Leaders is a chance for young people to change the world for the better through social action and personal development. The Global Social Leaders programmes are transformational leadership experiences delivered by Future Foundations and the Wellington Leadership Institute that bring together young people from across the world who are driven to make social change on a global scale.

OUR VISION
Our vision is a society where all organisations are led by socially conscious people, with every young person making the transition into adulthood with the foundations they need for their future.

Students who take part in GSL will:

  • Develop conscious leadership skills

  • Develop confidence

  • make deeper connections with peers

  • discover unique opportunities to give something back to society

At GSL we get to meet lifelong friends. Everyone is like minded so it is a very safe environment to be open and truly be yourself.

I learnt to be authentic. Be true to yourself and your values and that young individuals can make a difference.

I feel equipped with the tools I need to deliver a social action project.
