Be The Change
This session empowers youth to recognise their voice, strengths, and leadership potential. Panelists will share how they developed confidence, made decisions through challenges, and used their experiences to create positive impact in their communities. Youth will learn strategies for self-advocacy, communication, goal-setting, and overcoming self-doubt.
