Get ready to explore what’s next and how we can all step up during the final segment, understand what AGENCY enacted upon…manifests as!!

The Power to Respond – What Comes Next? IWILLFEST2026 is an in-person event for young people, professionals, institutions and the local community.

Day 3 of 3: IWILLFEST — ACT!

What happens when young people are heard—and institutions are willing to listen, engage and respond? Join young people, community partners and local institutions for the final event of #iWillFest. Explore what matters in Slough and beyond, what could change, and what might be hosted or supported next.

This is not a session where partners are expected to commit to ideas they have only just heard. Young people, organisations and community members will share concerns, identify opportunities and explore practical responses. Institutions will listen, explain how they work and consider what can be taken forward. Nexus Noosphere will assess what support, coordination or provision may be needed to help ideas develop.

What to expect

Hear from young people about the issues, opportunities and changes that matter to them.

Explore what young people could contribute, lead, create or deliver in response.

Meet local organisations, institutions and community partners.

Join conversation circles to discuss ideas, concerns and possible responses.

Learn how institutions make decisions, respond to communities and consider new ideas.

Help identify what young people, partners or Nexus Noosphere could take forward.

Leave with clearer next steps, useful connections and a better understanding of how to turn concern into participation.

Why attend?

Young people can strengthen their voice in local decision-making, build confidence to contribute and better understand how to engage with organisations and institutions. Stakeholders can gain direct insight into young people’s concerns, ambitions and potential contributions, and identify opportunities for informed consideration and future collaboration. Nexus Noosphere will use the learning to assess what support, coordination or provision is needed.
