  Are you passionate about making life better for other children and young people? Want to understand how real-world issues and politics shape our health and wellbeing, and what you can do about it? 

Our monthly opportunity brings together children and young people who want to explore big questions, build confidence and influence change.  

What we dive into 

  • How society, policy and everyday life connect to influence children & young people’s health and wellbeing.  
  • How policies impact real children and young people, and they ways their voice can guide decision-makers to create fairer, and more effective solutions.  
  • Young people’s unique role as rights-holders and advocates – learn how to champion children & young people’s rights, and push for policy changes that genuinely reflect young people’s needs.
