🐛 In 2010, our founders ran the #LondonMarathon as a giant human caterpillar! They were among 34 friends tied together, planting the seed for Big Change. 15 years on, that caterpillar has transformed into a movement to create a future where all young people can thrive.

That’s why we’re calling for more intergenerational collaboration, where leadership isn’t defined by age, but by a shared commitment to rethink and reshape systems to ensure all young people can thrive. 🤝 Here's what it can look like ��️ 📖 https://t.co/1zvzUXqoxf (2/2)

On #GlobalIntergenerationalWeek, we spotlight the power of generations coming together to drive change. At Big Change, we believe that lasting change for young people can’t be done without them. Too often, young voices are left out of decisions that shape their lives. (1/2)
