Leadership for Change Prize 2024

Ready to empower the next generation of leaders?

We’ve partnered with Rolex to create a new six-lesson curriculum and competition that equips 10- to 16-year-olds with key critical-thinking, creative problem-solving and communication skills.

Students will:

  • Hear how issues in the news are being tackled by a diverse group of inspiring leaders
  • Apply the skills they develop to address challenges in their own communities
  • Pitch their own “Project for Change”

The Leadership for Change Prize offers students the chance to submit their “Projects for Change” as part of a global competition.

Prize-winners will receive funding and mentorship to turn their projects into a reality.
