In a world where the average age of political leaders is 62, young people are beginning to make their mark on the political scene. The events of 2024 have shown that the youth are paying attention and are determined to make a change. With older politicians dominating the political landscape, many young people see this as an opportunity to push for a new era in politics.
Anelise Borges hosts a discussion with guests Arfiya Eri, a member of the Japanese parliament, Edmond Nonie, the Sierra Leone Deputy Minister of Energy, and Nina Skocak, a European Parliament candidate. These young leaders are proof that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference in politics.
The guests discuss the challenges they face as young politicians and how they are working to shape their countries’ futures. From fighting for climate action to advocating for human rights, these young leaders are tackling multiple battles to make their voices heard.
As the world looks towards the future, it is clear that the youth are a driving force for change. With their passion, determination, and fresh perspectives, young people are proving that they have a place in politics and are ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead. The role of youth in power is becoming increasingly important, and it is clear that they are here to stay.
