🌍✨We just wrapped up an intensive WAGGGS Programmes Champions Training in the Arab region. The training brought together global leaders to strengthen their skills and explore how WAGGGS programmes can be adapted and delivered in their own countries.

Our facilitators spent the week building the concrete skills needed to drive real-world transformation:

🌱 Explored WAGGGS programmes including Girl-led Action on Climate Change (GLACC), Surf Smart and Action on Body Confidence, designed to support girls and young women to take action on issues that matter to them.

🗣️ Practised interactive, participant-led facilitation to support meaningful learning and engagement.

📊 Developed skills in monitoring, evaluation and learning to ensure that community initiatives are data-driven, measurable, and highly effective.

🌍 Creating custom adaptation frameworks so WAGGGS global badge programmes can meet the unique cultural and local needs of individual Member Organisations.

This is what our global Movement is about: sharing knowledge, building skills and making WAGGGS programmes accessible and relevant across different contexts.

We are looking forward to seeing these Champions take what they’ve learned back to their communities and turn it into action.

It’s ! 🌍💚

This year’s theme puts the spotlight on the link between what we eat, what we throw away and the health of the communities we live in. And it’s a connection young people are already exploring through the Plastic Tide Turners Challenge (PTTC).

From organising clean-ups and getting their communities involved, to finding ways to reduce waste and rethink how we use plastic, young people are turning what they learn into action. 🌊♻️

But the work doesn’t stop when the clean-up is over. It’s about building habits, starting conversations and helping more people think about what happens to the things we use and throw away.

That’s how young people are contributing to more responsible consumption and , while helping create cleaner, healthier communities. 🏡💚

What’s happening in your community this ? 🌍

The countdown to is on! ⏳🌍

What does it look like when young people take the lead on plastic pollution?

Through WAGGGS’ Plastic Tide Turners Challenge (PTTC), young people are learning about the impact of plastic and waste, then turning what they learn into action in their schools, communities and everyday lives. 🌊

That might mean organising a clean-up, getting others involved, finding creative ways to reduce waste, or simply starting a conversation that makes someone think twice about their choices.

It’s also about looking beyond the clean-up itself and thinking about the kind of communities we want to live in, contributing to SDG 11 and SDG 12 along the way. 🏡♻️
Because change doesn’t always start with a big idea. Sometimes it starts with one young person deciding to do something differently, and getting others to join in. 💚

Did you know? The most powerful cleanup might be the one that prevents waste from being created in the first place.

Plastic pollution is shaped by the choices we make every day: what we buy, use, reuse and throw away. 🛍️🥤

Through WAGGGS’ Plastic Tide Turners Challenge, young people are learning to rethink those everyday choices and take action:
🙅 Refuse what you don’t need
📉 Reduce what you use
🔄 Reuse what you can
♻️ Recycle responsibly

Because a cleaner planet isn’t just about picking up waste. It’s about creating less of it. 🌱

What’s one plastic habit you could change today? 💬👇

When young people have the tools to understand inequality, they can find their voice and use it to create change. 🌟

Today, we are spotlighting Melissa Forde from the Girl Guides Assoc. of Barbados and our GEB Youth Ambassador. 👧🏾

For Melissa, the Gender Equality Challenge Badge became a springboard for action. She brought conversations on gender equality, identity, and rights to two Guide units, reaching 28 girls aged 11–16. 👭

During the 16 Days of Activism, she took that advocacy further, speaking about gender-based violence in digital spaces and eventually delivering a speech in Parliament, calling for stronger digital safety, literacy, and legal protections. 🏛️

From learning, speaking up, and creating change, Melissa is showing what youth leadership can look like.And she’s not stopping there. She plans to build a youth-led GEB model and support more young people to become advocates for gender equality. 💪🏽
