Our Lower and Upper Ambassadors joined over 400 primary and secondary school students from across the UK to participate in creative & interactive workshops. During the day, representatives from Facebook, Instagram & Twitter led a panel discussion, answering questions from students on topics such as cyberbullying and staying safe online.

Famous faces including model Penny Lancaster, TV presenter Carrie Grant & street dance duo Twist & Pulse spent time collaborating with students throughout the inspirational day. Cast from new west-end musical ‘Everyone’s Talking About Jamie’, performed with students.
