Motivated by their personal experiences and discussions in the Mentoring Programme about the Black Lives Matter Movement and negative portrayals of young people in the media, two mentees from The Global Academy came up with a plan. With the support of their peers, mentors, and The Diana Award staff, they worked to transform their youth-led social action project into a fully-fledged campaign. We want to change the narrative and show that young people are proud, powerful and proactive.
