📺 Continuing the conversation on the power of theatre.

We are delighted to share that our Executive Director, Danish Sohail, was featured on Expresso on Express News, where he spoke about why theatre deserves to be recognised as a powerful tool for education, leadership, and social change.

During the interview, Danish discussed the importance of reviving theatre culture in Pakistan, supporting young artists, encouraging families to embrace the arts, and creating more opportunities for young people to use creativity to address social challenges.

This conversation reflects the heart of our mission at The Young Changemakers—using theatre and the arts to empower young people, amplify unheard voices, and inspire communities to become agents of positive change.

We are grateful to Express News and the Expresso team for creating space for this important conversation.

Our sincere thanks also go to The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT), Global Changemakers, Global Fund for Children, and the Co-op Foundation for their continued support of youth leadership and grassroots organisations working towards a more inclusive and just future.

Together, we will continue demonstrating that theatre is not just entertainment—it is a catalyst for social transformation.

🎭 The power of theatre to create change.

We are proud to share that our Executive Director, Danish Sohail, recently appeared on Pakistan Morning on Aik News, where he spoke about his 22-year journey in theatre, beginning at the age of just 9, and his belief that theatre is far more than entertainment—it is a powerful tool for social change.

The interview also highlighted his recognition as a recipient of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 100 Young Leaders Award 2026, presented by The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT) in honour of what would have been Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday.

At The Young Changemakers, we believe the arts have the power to educate, empower, challenge injustice, and inspire communities. Through theatre, we continue to equip young people with the confidence, leadership, and creativity to become changemakers in their own communities.

A heartfelt thank you to Aik News and the Pakistan Morning team for providing a platform to discuss the role of theatre in creating positive social impact.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT), Global Changemakers, Global Fund for Children, and the Co-op Foundation for believing in and supporting youth-led initiatives that are creating lasting change.

Together, let’s continue proving that stories have the power to change the world.

What an inspiring day at the Young Gamechangers Fund Celebration Event 2026! 🎉

We were honoured to celebrate alongside incredible young leaders, organisations, and partners who are creating meaningful change in their communities.

Through our Theatre for Inclusive Change project, The Young Changemakers had the privilege of empowering 30 young people across four communities to use theatre as a tool for confidence, creativity, inclusion, and social change. Seeing the impact of youth-led initiatives celebrated today reminds us why investing in young people matters.

A heartfelt thank you to the Young Gamechangers Fund, Global Fund for Children, Co-op Foundation, and Restless Development for believing in young people and making projects like ours possible.

Here’s to continuing to empower the next generation of changemakers—one story, one stage, and one community at a time. 💙

Late post:

We are incredibly proud of our participants, Mahshameen and Anya, for representing The Young Changemakers at Blagrave’s Youth Led Change Day – The Future is Ours in Birmingham.

This inspiring gathering brought together young people, changemakers, and organisations committed to creating a more just, inclusive, and youth-led future. It was a powerful reminder of the collective strength young people hold when their voices, creativity, and leadership are truly valued.

More than a month later, the message still resonates strongly with us:

🎥 “The Future is Ours” sends a message of the collective power we all hold — celebrating the incredible work young people continue to do, while reminding us to keep pushing forward even in challenging and hostile times.

Mahshameen and Anya’s participation reflects the heart of what we believe at The Young Changemakers: empowering young people to lead conversations, challenge barriers, and shape the future through courage, creativity, and collaboration.

Special thanks and credit to Blagrave and the amazing videographers for capturing and sharing such a meaningful experience.

We are proud to share that our Executive Director, Danish Sohail, was selected as a Panelist for the IDEAS Youth Debate on the Post-2030 Education & Learning Agenda.

This global platform, contributing directly to consultations led by UNESCO, brought together youth leaders from across the Commonwealth to share insights on the future of education.

During the debate, Danish highlighted the urgent need to move beyond exam-focused systems and towards education that is skills-based, creative, and human-centred. Drawing from our work at The Young Changemakers, he emphasised the transformative power of arts—such as theatre and storytelling—in building confidence, critical thinking, and social awareness among young people.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where youth voices are not just heard, but directly contribute to shaping global education policy beyond 2030.

We remain committed to amplifying youth voices and using creative approaches to drive meaningful change in education systems worldwide.

Proud moment for The Young Changemakers!

Our Founding Director Sobia Ali’s documentary

🎬 Vanishing Voices: Forced Conversion in Pakistan (2023)

This film brings forward the lived realities of young girls and minority communities in Sindh, Pakistan amplifying voices that are too often silenced and calling for dignity, justice, and freedom of belief.

🎭 UNMUTED

What if the classroom isn’t as silent as it seems?

Behind raised hands, lowered eyes, and quiet obedience…
there are stories waiting to be heard.

Unmuted is a powerful, youth-created theatre piece exploring the realities of teacher-student dynamics — the pressure, the misunderstandings, the silence… and the courage to finally speak.

Created as part of Theatre for Inclusive Change, this performance is raw, honest, and led entirely by young voices.

This is not just acting.
This is truth on stage.

💭 “I felt seen.”
💭 “This is what actually happens.”
💭 “People need to watch this.”

Watch. Reflect. Listen.

Because the moment we become unmuted…
everything changes.

We are proud to share that our Executive Director has been recognised as a QECT 100 Young Leaders Awardee 2026 by The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust.

This recognition is not just a personal milestone, but a reflection of the journey we have been on together at The Young Changemakers. From working in communities that are often overlooked to creating spaces where young people can find their voice, this moment belongs to every individual who has been part of the movement.

Over the years, we have witnessed how purpose, resilience, and faith can transform lives. What started as a vision has grown into a community of young leaders committed to creating meaningful change.

This recognition connects us to a global network of young leaders working across the Commonwealth to drive impact in their communities. It strengthens our commitment to continue empowering young people through creativity, leadership, and social action.

We remain grateful for every step of this journey — and this is only the beginning.

✨ Theatre for Inclusive Change – Slough ✨

What happens when young people are given a space to be heard, to explore, and to create without judgement?

You get this. 💛

A room full of voices discovering their power.
Stories being shared with honesty.
Barriers breaking. Confidence building. Connections forming.

Our recent interactive theatre workshop in Slough wasn’t just about acting — it was about expression, inclusion, and transformation. From laughter to deep reflection, these young changemakers stepped into a space where their experiences mattered and their voices shaped the narrative.

🎭 “I felt seen.”
🎭 “This was different.”
🎭 “Everyone should experience this.”

And that’s exactly why we do what we do.

This is more than theatre.
This is change in motion.
