Scoris International School from Uganda is the winner of the 2025 Your World competition by British Council Partner Schools.
The British Council is celebrating the 10th edition of Your World, a global video-making competition designed to equip young people with the skills to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
The theme of this edition, “Skills for Sustainability – Equipping All Youth for the Future,” aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education and underscores the importance of equipping students with the tools to address global sustainability challenges.
Scoris International School empowered to lead
This year’s winners from Scoris International School in Uganda addressed women’s unemployment, showcasing how Your World empowers students to apply cross-curricular knowledge and turn ideas into action.
Their project, which saw them help to train young adults and single mothers to run their own soap making and baking businesses, was selected from 642 entries submitted by 3,210 students across 34 countries.
“We thrived and earned it! Moments like these are why we chase our passions. It was such an educative and productive experience—and more importantly, lives were transformed!” shared one of the winning team members.
Real-world sustainability challenges addressed
The British Council’s Your World competition is designed to help students develop essential academic, creative, and life skills. These skills include critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy, while also giving students the confidence to propose solutions to real-world sustainability challenges.
By empowering this new generation, the British Council aims to support the growth of confident, creative, and collaborative future leaders.
Many past projects have led to sustainable initiatives that continue to make an impact on local communities, highlighting the programme’s growing influence.
“As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Your World Competition, we’re proud to reflect on how it has engaged over 30,000 students over the years, driving impactful social action projects that have reached millions across local communities,” said Thomas Evans, Education Support Manager for British Council Partner Schools.
The 11th edition of the Your World competition will open in September 2025. Visit our website for more information.
