探花直播Queen鈥檚 Young Leaders Programme celebrates the achievements of inspiring young people from across the Commonwealth who are dedicated to driving change in their communities.

This year鈥檚 winners are working in support of a range of issues and join former graduates of the Programme which was established by the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust in 2014.

探花直播Trust is run in partnership with Comic Relief, the Royal Commonwealth Society and ICE, with last night鈥檚 ceremony at Buckingham Palace hosted by the Queen, 探花直播Duke of York and Prince Harry and broadcast live on BBC鈥檚探花直播One Show. 探花直播Chairman of 探花直播Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust, Sir John Major, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Sir Mo Farah and Caspar Lee were also in attendance.

ICE provides tailored support to the award winners to develop their skills as leaders, in the form of a one-year online leadership course. 探花直播centrepiece of this is a week-long residential placement in the UK. 探花直播first three days of the residential were based at Madingley Hall, where the award winners enjoyed:

Lectures and seminars with global academics and industry experts聽- including聽Oli Barrett MBE, founder of StartUp UK; business creativity guru Fredrik H盲r茅n; and Dr Karen Salt, co-director of Nottingham 探花直播's Centre for Research in Race and Rights
Team-building activities focused on strengthening the network of QYLS and alumni from 53 Commonwealth countries
One-to-one mentoring with coaches who have studied on ICE鈥檚 coaching programme
Mindfulness, meditation and yoga sessions during their downtime
A social programme, including punting on the Cam and open-air cinema at Madingley Hall

探花直播winners then moved on to London, where they visited Number 10, the BBC and organisations such as Facebook, Google DeepMind, Jamie鈥檚 Fifteen, AMV BBDO and Oxfam to take part in development activities to help drive their work forward.聽 For some, a highlight was meeting David Beckham, an enthusiastic supporter of the Queen鈥檚 Young Leaders Programme.

Frances Brown, Mentoring and Course Director for the programme, said: "We at ICE are always overwhelmed by the talent and potential of the Queen鈥檚 Young Leaders and thrilled to play a vital part in developing their skills, building confidence and strengthening their global network.聽We are proud to support and encourage these exceptional young leaders who are a true reflection of the potential of youth in 探花直播Commonwealth."

Vladyslava Kravchenko, a Queen's Young Leader from Malta, said: "It's been absolutely great. ICE is a great setting and we're learning really interesting and useful things. 探花直播group of Queen's Young Leaders this year is incredible and I was inspired to meet so many motivated and impassioned young people."

探花直播search is on for 2018 winners, applications are now open and sixty inspiring young leaders will be selected by peers later in the year.聽

Young people who are working to preserve the environment, tackle bullying in schools, and promoting gender equality were recognised by the Queen at Buckingham Palace last night 鈥� following a year of leadership studies provided by the 探花直播 of Cambridge Institute of聽Continuing Education (ICE).

We are always overwhelmed by the talent and potential of the Queen鈥檚 Young Leaders.
