    Canon Young People Programme
    2023 Year in Review

    The mission of the Canon Young People Programme is to inspire, educate and empower the next generation of storytellers. It offers a means and platform for self-expression through skills-building workshops, which we co-design in partnership with NGOs and schools. This report shares programme highlights from activity across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, where we worked with over 1,500 young people across 33 countries delivering more than 400 workshops. Empowering storytellers through the Programme is the very embodiment of kyosei, our corporate philosophy, which means ‘living and working together for the common good’.
