Leadership for Change live lesson

13 November 2024

In November 2024, we brought together over 4,000 children from 15 countries to take part in our online live lesson in partnership with Rolex.

Students engaged in lively activities on leadership, heard from Rolex Awards Laurate Felix Brooks-church and took part in polls and discussions with peers from around the world.
