Be The Change (BTC) Celebration
Japan November 2025
Organized annually, the ‘Be The Change’ (BTC) celebration provides our young superheroes from across the world a platform to showcase their stories of change. In 2024, with a separate fundraising initiative, we enabled 3 youth to represent NI at the Be the Change Global Celebrations Dubai.
Youth who participate in Art For Change 2025 and submit a story of change will be considered as NI representatives at the 2025 Be The Change Global Celebration in Japan this November. Participation does not guarantee selection, neither does it guarantee funding for the trip. It does open doors to the opportunity and eduSOIL will work with selected representatives to support their fundraising efforts.
BTC Selection Process
We will choose Story of Change and Cultural Representatives using a set of criteria that we will send to those who submit stories of change to our I CAN 2025 Challenge. We will select 3 youth representatives and mentors/chaperones. Announcements of Story of Change and Cultural Representatives will be made on September 30th 2025
Those who are not selected as representatives can still be involved as Attendees. This package is also open to anyone who has not submitted a youth-led story of change yet wants to be involved in the magic! Attendee Registration closes on October 5th.
