CHANGEit
CHANGEit encourages young people to speak up and take action in society – because they are the leaders of the future. The CHANGEit awards are a collaboration between Common Purpose, an organisation dedicated to improving the quality of leadership in the UK, Common Purpose International and Deutsche Bank. The awards recognise, support and reward the achievements and ambitions of
young campaigners between the ages of 11-18 who want to speak out and create positive
change to their community.

support to get started;
2. "Performance" to celebrate the achievements of young people who have already taken
positive action in their local areas; and
3. "Photography" young people's photos that capture campaigning in action or images that
illustrate the change you see in the world around you.
