Studio 5 Closes with a Celebration of People Power

At Women Deliver 2026, Project Everyone wrapped up Studio 5, our new initiative putting creativity at the heart of gender equality.

The final day was centred around one idea: People Power. The morning was dedicated to amplifying the voices of First Nations and youth leaders, recognising their vital role in shaping our collective future.

The day opened with a powerful dialogue led by the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Institute delegation. In conversation with senior global political leaders, First Nations women challenged traditional ideas of power, bringing the focus instead to relational governance, deep listening and the enduring strength of matriarchal leadership.

To close the programme, we hosted Unscripted with the United Nations Youth Office. The session brought diverse youth voices together with senior leaders from business, philanthropy, policy and civil society for open and constructive conversations about the issues shaping our future.

Through small, intergenerational group discussions, Unscripted moved away from traditional summit formats and one-way consultation to create space for genuine exchange, shared reflection and meaningful connection.

Across the week, Studio 5 explored some of the critical issues shaping the future of gender equality, bringing together different generations, experiences and perspectives to break down echo chambers and unlock new possibilities for progress.

From First Nations artists to local women-led and impact-led partners, the space itself was intentionally created to reflect the values and ambition of Studio 5.

A huge thank you to all of our Studio 5 partners, collaborators, production teams and guests who joined us throughout Women Deliver and helped make the week possible.
