They come from different communities, cities, schools and universities. They are driven by a question, story or reality they want to transform.
These will be the voices of young people arriving at The Grand Jam 2026 — real people whose stories have been authorised for publication.
We do not only tell who is taking part. We tell why they are worth knowing.
Each young person arrives from somewhere different
The Grand Jam brings together people with different stories, motivations and dreams. Each represents more than a team: a community, a question and a personal way of imagining the future.
Confirmed, authorised profiles will be published here. Until then, we do not publish names, projects or provisional details.
Five dimensions for meeting them
- Where they come from — Territory, community and identity.
- What drives them — Personal, family or collective motivations.
- What they dream of — Aspirations, vocations and possible futures.
- What they stand for — Commitments connected to Earth.
- What they discovered — Changes that happened during the process.
Being a protagonist does not depend on winning
Recognition may be part of a journey, but it does not determine a person’s value, what they learned or what they dared to attempt.
Protagonists are not defined by the podium. They are defined by what they dare to try.
