Meet Gabrielle Whittaker of Campion College, who shared how eye-opening it was to discover a space where children’s voices are not only heard but taken seriously by the adults and policymakers shaping their future.

From mental health to child protection, Gabrielle emphasised how powerful it is when young people are given a platform and how vital it is for decision-makers to truly listen.

Her hope?
That the Caribbean, and Jamaica especially, will continue strengthening these spaces so that the voices of children influence real change and that one day, the conference will stand proudly on a global stage.
