At a time when society is being reshaped by new technologies, shifting cultural norms, and growing distrust in traditional institutions, young people are increasingly stepping forward as changemakers, creating solutions, building communities, and driving social impact in real time.
As the official charity partner of SXSW London, The Diana Award brings together inspiring young leaders alongside voices from media and culture for a bold conversation about the future of leadership, influence, and social change.
Together, the panel will explore how a new generation is rewiring power by using creativity, activism, entrepreneurship, and community action to tackle the issues shaping their futures, from mental health and inequality to online harms and social division. This session celebrates the power of young people not only as future leaders, but as changemakers are already transforming society today, and asks what institutions, businesses, and audiences can learn from the way they lead.
