#WhyYPI
YPI Impact Week is an opportunity to celebrate young people’s role in driving positive change with schools, charities, and other partners.
The Wood Foundation has launched this Scotland-wide campaign to encourage reconnection and reflection, developing a legacy from the YPI experience.
Impact Week is a Scotland-wide celebration that recognises the achievements of young people, partners, and charities engaged with YPI.
The theme of the week’s activities, which will include in-person activities, social media campaign, and online events, is #WhyYPI.
The YPI National Event will take place during Impact Week in Perth with more than 1000 young people, teachers, and stakeholders.
How can I get involved?
We would love for schools and partners to host events and activities to celebrate the impact, legacy, and innovation of YPI.
Inspire me!
