Big Change is a UK based charity, supported by a global and local network of allies. Our vision is to see society working together so that all young people are set up to thrive in life, not just exams.
We act as a catalyst for transformation focused on long-term system changes to education and learning. We do this by focusing on three main areas of impact work:
1. The Big Education Challenge A £1m prize fund backing early stage ideas with the potential to transform education and learning in the UK.
2. A New Education Story Generating insight and learning from different contexts to drive transformation and not reform.
3. Big Education Conversation A public listening exercise focused on inclusive conversations about the purpose of education.
Big Change’s vision is to see a society working together so that all young people are set up to thrive in life, not just exams. A pretty worthy vision, wouldn’t you agree? If that aligns with your values and you’d like to know more about their culture – the team cites great people and ethos, encouragement to learn and grow, and lots of laughing and trying new things as reasons why they love working there.
