About Global Girl Leading
Mulberry has been a pioneer in women’s education for over 50 years. It has long created spaces for women and girls to come together to grow and learn more about gender equality. A key part of this work has been running regular conferences led by students.
In 2016, Global Girl Leading was established following the visit of Michelle Obama to Mulberry School for Girls.
The Global Girl Leading programme is a leadership development programme ‘by girls, for girls’. Supported by teachers, girls together learn to lead change. They co-create learning activities which include negotiation skills, teamwork, risk-taking and campaigning. They are given platforms and coaching to make their voices heard. Through this programme, they experience the power of successfully influencing change, learning resilience and finding self-confidence.
On 11th October 2023, Global Girl Leading will hold an online conference to celebrate International Day of the Girl.
Global Girl Leading Conference 2023
Mulberry Schools Trust will be holding a Global Girl Leading conference on Wednesday 11th October 2023 to celebrate the International Day of the Girl.
Now in its 11th year, the day will highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
We are looking forward to bringing students together from across the world to address these aims in a truly global way. We want to celebrate the progress that has been made so far and stand shoulder to shoulder to face future challenges that may lie ahead.
Students will have the opportunity to hear from trailblazers in a variety of sectors, with panels focusing on media representation and responding to humanitarian crises.
The event will be run in person at Mulberry School for Girls and streamed online.
