In this special episode, we headed to YOFO and sat down with members of Youth Councils from across the North West! 🌍✨

We asked big questions like: 🔄

“What’s one thing you’d change in the world?” ✊

“What does youth activism mean to you?” 💡

“What advice would you give to young people who want to get involved in youth voice?”

The answers were powerful, inspiring, and full of passion. This is one of our most energetic episodes yet — and a perfect snapshot of what young activists are capable of. 💛
