The Young Leaders Digital Summit brings together ambitious young minds to work together on meaningful projects for social impact. Year 12 student Abigail Taylor, who has a passion for politics, beat applicants from all over the world with her 400-word essay focused on what she believed would be the pressing long-term and short-term social issues that will arise from the COVID-19 pandemic. Abigail told the Bournemouth Echo: “I am incredibly excited and humbled to be a part of such a prestigious event for young people. I truly believe change starts with us. Individual choices turn into group changes which turn into movements which turn into revolutions! I am so excited to be surrounded by like-minded young people and hear from some absolutely incredible people.”
