Habs is delighted to announce Ishaan (Lower Sixth) was awarded a Global Youth Award – Empowering Leadership award for his anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking efforts.
At the age of 14, Ishaan saw a documentary which changed his life. He learned how children around the world were being exploited and forced into slavery. After talking about the programme at the School, Ishaan further committed to raising awareness of slavery and human trafficking in a way young people engage with.
In 2017 Ishaan founded Stolen Dreams, a website and communications organisation to get young people to engage with, and driving, positive action around human trafficking. Since then, he has spread his message widely across social media, podcasts and through public speaking, especially at other schools. Ishaan’s work has displayed real impact as it engages young people in this issue and encourages them to discuss human trafficking, a tremendously sensitive topic, with warmth and compassion.
The Global Youth Awards by Round Table Global are open for people aged 11-18 who are ‘leading inspirational projects for a positive impact’. As a result of this award, Ishaan now has access to a global talent bank that offers opportunities for collaboration and creation between young people and forward-thinking organisations; a global hub of remarkably inspiring youth, innovations and ideas. The awards are divided into three categories, ‘Empowering Others’, ‘Education Innovation’ and ‘Environmental Rejuvenation’.
Round Table Global is a fantastic organisation that provides a large amount of valuable information on life skills for young people and adults. Through their YouTube channel especially, Round Table Global has multiple guides and tips on topics such as how to live with an open mind, self-awareness and how to take responsibility and accountability.
Ishaan will continue his work tackling slavery and human trafficking and for more information on how you can get involved, click here to visit Ishaan’s website.
