Reach Next Generation
Our Summits
Reach Next Generation is an ambitious project created to talk to thousands of 11-15 year old girls helping them to understand what it means to be a young girl in one of the most dynamic times in living memory
Since our first Summit in the summer of 2021 we have held 9 inspirational and aspirational summits where women from a variety of industries and backgrounds have come together to make a difference to the lives and ambitions of the next generation of female leaders
We engage with girls at a critical age, at a time when society begins to tell them “they can’t –They leave our summits knowing that “they can”
About Reach Next Generation
Reach Next Generation is a safe space where 11-15 year old girls come to talk to each other and their future selves and women come to talk with the girls about their younger selves. We celebrate the brilliant real life success stories and also key moments of failure which have led to our women to where they are in life
So far the mission has been to create a physical space where we bring girls from all backgrounds to hear from and chat to women who have a story to tell, an experience to share and to impress on the girls that “If I can do it, you can do it”
The aims of our summits
- To provide a unique and inspiring opportunity to meet girls from all backgrounds.
- To empower women leaders of the future of the future at a key time for diversity and equality throughout the World.
- To hear from accomplished and entertaining experts in their field.
- To provide a forum in which women with boardroom experience can offer the benefit of their experience to the next generation of female leaders.
- To provide thought leadership and opportunity to address their concerns.
- To empower the girls so that they can be whoever they want to be.
To create a very special group who will act as ambassadors and inspirators for the next generation. - Most of all, to build confidence, self-esteem and independence.
What happens at our summits?
Our unique format sees all the girls sit in a summit style circle, so they all have a front row seat.
We run a series of short sessions –between 12 and 15 throughout the day and the girls can contribute to the topics as much as they like.
We have a mix of sessions –some are interactive, some involve participation, and some are designed to demonstrate that“if I can do it-you can do it.”
They talk about their ambitions and hopes for their careers as they think about their future.
What do we talk about at our Summits?
They hear from and talk with women who have a story to tell.
Leaders in Sport, Fashion, Music, Business, Music, Charities, Nutrition, Human Rights and Social Media all there to create conversations and provide thought leadership.
They openly discuss their thoughts, concerns and ambitions in a completely “safe space.”
It’s a place that the girls can talk about what they want to talk about
