2. We need youth voices
If you have students who are interested in participating in Festival of Hope we are looking for young people from across the globe who would like to interview some of our guests in all languages. These students should already show an interest in areas that the guests are experts in: technology, peace, climate change, youth activism, culture, media, fashion, music, education and mental well-being.
If you have a student or team of students who would be interested in getting engaged, fill out this form – we welcome all languages. We will add you to our list and be in touch when the right opportunity comes up.
“What gives me hope is to read and to listen to my students every day building with their thoughts better realities for others and themselves.”
