The #iWill Festival of Social Action is the #iWill Movement's annual flagship campaign - three days of youth-led events, place-based celebration and national social action, taking place every November. Formerly known as #iWill Week, the festival brings together young people, organisations and communities across the UK to celebrate the power of youth social action.
Day one belongs to young people. Whether you're already taking action in your community or you're figuring out where to start, Wednesday is your space to connect with others, share what you stand for, and find your place in the Movement.
Thursday is for the organisations and partners who believe in young people's power to build stronger, safer communities. A day to learn, reflect and renew your commitment to putting young people at the centre of what you do.
Friday is a national call to action. Wherever you are in the UK, whatever you stand for - this is the day to do something, share it, and be part of something bigger. Towns and Cities of Social Action host local celebrations, and communities across the country come together under one hashtag: #iWillFest.
The #iWillFest fringe programme extends the festival across a two-week window either side of the three core days. If you’re running activity connected to youth social action during this period – an event, a workshop, a volunteer day, a community gathering – register it as a fringe event and we’ll promote it on this page and across our channels, as well as providing you with comms assets to promote your event.
More details on event registration coming soon.
