Ideas, Voices, Action ! Celebrating Friendship, Creativity, and Youth Changemakers
LEAP’s YouthMADE Festival 2026 celebrates friendship through a collection of student-led creative works in English, coding, literacy, and music. Through puzzles, writing, posters, interviews, songs, narrated stories, and digital projects, students share their voices in thoughtful and imaginative ways. Together, these works show how creativity can help young people build connection, express kindness, and strengthen a sense of belonging.
Balloons Level - We All Fit Together
In this student-led project, children explored friendship and belonging through a collaborative puzzle activity. Piece by piece, they discovered that everyone has a place, and that different people can come together to form one caring community. This project celebrates creativity, teamwork, and the idea that we all fit together.
Gogo Level — Friendship Starts Here: How to Be a Good Friend
Through writing, post-it reflections, and poster-making, GOGO students shared their own ideas about what it means to be a good friend. This creative project highlights kindness, empathy, and small actions that can make others feel seen and valued. It is a student-led expression of friendship in both words and art.
Step Out Level — What Do We Think about a Friendship?
In this video, Step Out students share their thoughts and answers to simple but meaningful questions about friendship. Through their voices, we hear honest reflections on how friendships begin, how they grow, and how we can care for one another. This project shows the power of student voice in exploring connection, kindness, and belonging.
Winner Level — Read Aloud: I Walk with Vanessa
Inspired by I Walk with Vanessa, Winner students brought the story to life through read-aloud narration and recorded voices. This project invites viewers to reflect on empathy, courage, and the importance of standing beside others. Through storytelling, students share a meaningful message about friendship and quiet acts of kindness.
Coding Class — From Ideas to Digital Creations
In Coding Class, students turned ideas into digital creations by building their own websites. Through projects such as Digital Citizenship Guide and Volunteer Search, they explored how coding can be used to share helpful information, support others, and create meaningful online experiences. This showcase celebrates student creativity, problem-solving, and learning through technology.
Leap Literacy Club — Friendship Songs
In Leap Literacy Club, students explored the theme of friendship through songwriting. They wrote their own lyrics to express ideas about kindness, care, and connection, and with the help of SUNO AI, their words were transformed into songs. This project celebrates student voice, creativity, and the way technology can help bring their ideas to life.

Winner Level
At Leap English and Digital Class, learning goes beyond the classroom—it creates real impact. Our Winner students took their language skills to the next level by collaborating with Kampoeng Dolanan, Indonesia, an organization dedicated to preserving traditional Indonesian games. Understanding the importance of cultural heritage, they helped translate Kampoeng Dolanan’s company profile into English, making it accessible to a global audience. Additionally, they created English-language game tutorials, ensuring that people from non-Indonesian-speaking countries can learn and enjoy these traditional games. Through this project, our students not only practiced their English skills but also contributed to cultural preservation and global understanding, proving that language can be a bridge that connects traditions with the world.

Step Out Level
At Leap, we believe that learning English should be visual, interactive, and engaging. That’s why our Step Out (Intermediate) students use mind maps to explore English grammar in a creative way! Traditional grammar learning can feel overwhelming, but mind mapping helps students organize their thoughts visually, see connections between concepts, and engage both creativity and logic—making learning more intuitive and enjoyable. Instead of just memorizing rules, students actively process information, think critically, and take ownership of their learning. These mind maps aren’t just study tools; they’re a reflection of each student’s unique thought process and a testament to how creativity can enhance understanding. Through this showcase, we’re excited to share their colorful, structured, and insightful approach to grammar with you!
GOGO Level
At Leap, our GOGO students take their first exciting steps in English by not just learning words but bringing them to life! Starting with simple written compositions on topics like family, animals, and daily life, they build their vocabulary and sentence structure. But the learning doesn’t stop on paper—each student then presents their composition in front of the class, practicing pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. As they progress to upper GOGO, they explore basic tenses like present continuous, simple past, and future tense, gradually developing their storytelling skills. Through this process, our young learners go from writing their first sentences to speaking with confidence, proving that every small step leads to big growth in communication!
