Across the planet, people under the age of 30 make up the largest youth count in history.  Yet, despite the reality that many face significant threats to their happiness and livelihoods, youth and the next generation offer some of the brightest spots across our horizons.     

In this episode of Democracy! The Podcast, discover why Libya’s most trusted institutions, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides, are also the country’s top go-to groups for getting the most important messages right.   

Then we head to the classroom in Ukraine to get schooled on a wildly popular civics class that’s changing more than just students’ schedules. 

And, finally, he was born during war-time, but today Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Malik Sakić is one of democracy’s best champions, as president of the European Democracy Youth Network.  Find out what he says drove him to get involved in public life, and his best advice for those looking to make a change, when he sits down to chat with Adrienne.
