RoundTable Global - Legacy Project

A PIONEERING INITIATIVE FOR SCHOOLS & YOUTH
Formerly known as the Positive for Youth Awards, the Global Youth Awards were created in 2012 to provide a platform for inspirational young people delivering impactful projects that really make a difference to be recognised and rewarded for their efforts.

The award categories are based on our Three Global Goals of Educational Innovation, Empowering Everyone and Environmental Rejuvenation.

Our ambition is to create the largest global collaboration for youth empowerment and development the world has ever seen.

The Three Global Goal Youth Projects & Awards supports and showcases extraordinary young people aged 11-17 around the world who are leading inspirational projects for a positive impact. Our online global talent bank offers opportunities for creation, collaboration and celebration between young people and forward-thinking organisations.

Through our 2019 Projects & Awards We are creating a global hub of inspiring youth talent and amazing, world changing innovations and ideas! if you are involved in a project or initiative that is helping change the world we want to hear from you.

The Global Youth Awards are truly unique in that they have been co-created and are run by young people for young people.

This year we want to galvanise a global youth movement to create projects for change. We have created a projects pack detailing the 2019 awards and providing case studies of 2018 global winners and we are asking schools to commit to at least one project either within the existing curriculum or as an extra-curricular activity. This pack is available to secondary schools across the globe encouraging them to create a project in line with our Three Global Goals which fit within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With 3,408 secondary schools and 2,297 independent schools in the UK alone, 2019 could see real sustainable change in communities led by youth and fulfilling our wish to change the way youth are viewed across the generations. Projects will automatically qualify for entry into the awards enabling us to support and celebrate those that get involved.

Since creation of the awards in 2012 The Legacy Project has celebrated and supported 84 projects founded, run or created by young people and provided business mentors to each of these to help continue the growth and development of each project. This figure can be doubled to include the youth performers, MC’s and judges that we also offer mentoring and support as part of our network going forward. The event is hugely inspiring, not just for the young people involved but also for our older guests who get to see and experience young people doing things that they could not even imagine completing in a lifetime. The impact of our awards programme is ongoing with all of the young people that choose to join our ambassador network having access to further mentoring and opportunities. Most are given additional PR exposure with several being interviewed by YouTube channel, Platform Inspires and London Live. As a further Legacy many of our award winners go on to contribute via judging or hosting the next event.

For those that choose to leverage the network the opportunities are endless. Inspiring Young Filmmaker from our UK 2017 awards, James Hastings, knows more than most the impact that the awards can have. Since winning in 2017 he has been working closely on several projects with award sponsor and mentor Dana Amma Day, Founder of Positive TV and journalist at ECOHustler. He is receiving additional mentoring from two of our Global Change Ambassadors from Los Angeles who work in the film industry and met James when they attended the event in 2017. He is working on an ambitious musical with another of our Global Change Ambassadors, has been interviewed for Plaform Inspires and as a result became the filmmaker for our 2018 UK awards creating a beautiful film of the event for his portfolio. He attributes the Youth Awards to ‘completely changing my life’.

Additionally, due to our extensive network of over 100 Global Change Ambassadors we frequently receive opportunities to pass on to our young people, with the most recent being an opportunity to apply to attend the Compassionate Leadership Summit to be held in Dharamsala in Autumn 2019, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
