The power of safe spaces

The Centre for Public Impact (CPI) Podcast

Over the past 18 months, we have looked at how young people feel about their power to change what government thinks of them and their power or desire to be ‘one of them’ - diversity in government is something we have found is important for legitimacy. The UK has a particularly tricky time letting young people into mainstream debates and young people have a hard time communicating back with power they know little about, not even how it truly impacts their own lives and communities. This is a tragedy and it is having profound consequences. We recently spoke to an inspiring group of young women about their relationship with government. Listen to what they told us.
