    Y Education, Arissa?

    Following a trip to India in 2017, Arissa was shocked to learn about the lack of access to education amongst youth and decided to use this experience to make an impact at home and abroad. It is for this reason that she created Project Power Global (or PPG), a global organization dedicated to bringing light to lack of access to education by connecting students from different parts of the world to learn from each other, to foster a friendship and support one another.

    Y Water, Apoorv?

    We all know that water is an essential part of life. It supports vital functions our body, plants rely on it to survive, it is constantly being recycled in a closed loop, the water cycle system, therefore being a finite source. It really is an extremely important substance and it is for this reason that 17-year-old youth activist, Apoorv, started the Jal Organization, his mission is "to stand for water, with water”.

    Y Palestinian Youth, Maysam and Elias?

    As per their mission statement, the heart of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) is rooted in justice and liberation. These factors motivate members of this remarkable organization to take an active role in the national struggle for the liberation of Palestine and its people. Maysam and Elias, representatives of the Toronto chapter of PYM join us this week to discuss the ways in which this remarkable grassroots organization is working hard to mobilize Palestinian youth through youth workshops aimed at developing leadership skills and critical analysis, commemorating the Palestinian culture and heritage, developing third world solidarity allies and much more. In light of the devastating news of what is currently happening Sheikh Jarrah -that has been continuously happening across the country- we thought this educational episode would be incredibly important for our listeners to open their hearts and minds to the people of Palestine.
