This year's festival: 18th - 20th November 2026
The #iWill Festival of Social Action is the #iWill Movement’s annual flagship campaign – three days of youth-led events, place-based celebration and national social action, taking place every November. Formerly known as #iWill Week, the festival brings together young people, organisations and communities across the UK to celebrate the power of youth social action.
Wednesday 18th: Organise
Wednesday is young people’s day. As #iWill Ambassadors come together and celebrate, they’re inviting everyone to reflect on why young people organising, building connections, finding their place, and creating change together, is more important than ever.
Thursday 19th: Unite
Organisations and partners day. An online working session for the people and organisations who believe in young people’s power to lead change – and want to go further in embedding that belief in their work. Expect honest conversation, practical thinking, and the chance to connect with others on the same journey.
Friday 20th: Act
Everyone’s day. A national social action call-out – for individuals, schools, youth groups, communities and organisations across the UK. On Friday 20th November, young people across the UK are taking action on something they care about — big or small, planned or spontaneous — photographing it, filming it, writing about it, and sharing it using #iWillFest.
If you work with or alongside schools, youth groups or community organisations, this is your moment. Their free Act Day pack gives facilitators everything they need to run a session with young people on the day – a session plan, social action ideas, and ready-made social media templates so their voices travel further than the room.
