Episode Description

In this episode, Jack sits down with Oskar Bonte from Vlaamse Jeugdraad (the Flemish Youth Council) to discuss the priorities of young people, the routes of action, and what's coming next. Covering climate change, active transport like cycling, and mental health, Oskar sheds a light on how youth politics works in Belgium, the influence on politics nationally, and the need for international solidarity and action. With the voting age lowered to 16, young people's voices are stronger than ever and can be used to leverage for change.
