Leadership for Change 2026: Teacher Webinar

Interested in taking part in the Leadership for Change Prize 2026 but not sure how to run the programme in your school? Join one of the Economist Educational Foundation's short introductory webinars on June 24th.

This year’s Leadership for Change Prize 2026 features a new five-lesson curriculum and a competition beyond basic debates about screen time and AI, giving students the opportunity to address the root causes of the global loneliness crisis. 10- to 16-year-olds will become empowered thought-leaders challenged to develop and present original strategies that build genuine community cohesion. Then, to bridge the gap between classroom ideas and global influence, the most impactful idea will be published in The Economist.
