Young people have been at the heart of all WOW’s activity since we began. This year we are thrilled to be kicking off the first ever WOW Girls Festival.

As it grows over the next five years, the WOW Girls Festival will be a force for change across society in how it sees girls, their potential and the opportunities it offers for their future, both in the UK and overseas, working with our global partners. Every part of the WOW Girls Festival is designed with and for young people, from the WOW Bus interior/exterior to the WOW Activity Packs and programmes which travel with it.

The WOW Girls Festival is here - get ready for an injection of energy, focus and motivation to galvanise, connect and inspire!

The WOW Girls Festival is supported by BBC Children In Need and in partnership with WOW UK Girls Champion Barbie who are extending the tour to reach primary aged children, and WOW Global Girls Champion Standard Chartered Bank who are supporting the Girls Festival’s international reach.

The WOW Girls Festival Bus is funded through a partnership between The WOW Foundation and BBC Children in Need and the tour is supported by Arts Council England.
