About Global Girl Leading

Global Girl Leading 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.

aims of Global Girl Leading

Girls who participate in Global Girl Leading have:

Better knowledge of barriers facing girls and women across
the world, as well as better understanding of how others have
successfully dealt with the challenges.

Developed a range of attributes, skills and capacities to help them
encounter discrimination and handle it confidently, powerfully and
constructively.

Used the platform of Global Girl Leading to make their voices heard
on human rights for girls and women.

Become agents of change in a variety of ways, negotiating the best
outcomes for themselves and other girls and women.

Participated in a global sisterhood of girls, advocating for each
other’s rights and equalities in an ethos of mutuality and reciprocity.

Letters to Our Daughters

In 2024, Mulberry Schools Trust and Applied Stories collaborated to create the second volume of Letters to Our Daughters.

Featuring contributions from students in England, Australia, Wales, Kenya, Mexico and India, the anthology is a chance to hear from girls and young women about their experiences and their hopes for the future in their own words.

For Our Mothers


After the success of last year’s Letters to Our Daughters, Mulberry Schools Trust commissioned digital production company Applied Stories, led by Fin Kennedy, to facilitate this year’s writing project, For Our Mothers. Girls aged 11-18 were invited to write a tribute in any written form – a prose letter, a poem in verse, a short story or a combination – dedicated to their own mother, or a maternal figure in their lives. The work of students from around the world are featured in this year’s anthology; select students performed their letters live at the Global Girl Leading Summit 2025 and more have recorded their letters.
