What if young people ran the world? | Nasra Ayub | TEDxUniversityofBristol

The world as we know it is continuously facing challenges. From the impact of the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, climate change and poverty on the rise, there is a huge number of global issues that need to be addressed. Young people are constantly at the forefront of tackling these issues, from organising protests to creating innovative solutions to today’s problems. Nasra's talk will be about why we should view young people as experts in social justice issues and therefore radically overhaul the charity funding sector and shift the power of decision making to young people.
