The I AM Programme
Are you living in London, aged 14 – 20 and passionate about Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Racial Justice, develop your campaigning skills, & learning how to impact & drive positive change? Then we have the opportunity for you!!
Our IAM Programme is back!!
Launched in 2022, the I AM: Programme seeks to empower passionate young people to make change within their communities, particularly around the themes of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). Run in collaboration with the Verizon Foundation, this free programme aims to create a safe space for young people to explore their identity, and identify social issues within their communities that they’d like to change.
Over the course of 4 weekends, young people will meet like-minded individuals to begin exploring and designing a campaign to address a current issue within their societal context. This could be anything from racism, gender equity, disability advocacy, mental health awareness, support for the LGBSTQ+ community and so much more!
These weekends will also include EDI and social justice workshops and theory sessions; networking opportunities with guest speakers and activists, and campaigning masterclasses, thereby enabling young people to better understand power and influence in their communities and make lasting change. The programme ends with a fun and exciting activity day to celebrate the progress and hard-work of the young people!
The course will be starting again in Autumn 2024 and will start on Saturday 26th October 2024.
The dates for the programme are:
Weekend 1: Sat 26th & Sun 27th October
Weekend 2: Sat 9th & Sun 10th November
Weekend 3: Sat 23rd November
Weekend 4: Sat 30th November & Sun 1st December
