REIMAGINING THE FUTURE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
"Education, much like agriculture, is an organic system. Farmers don’t look at their plants in contempt and reprimand them for not growing to their potential – instead, they strive to meet the plant’s own optimum conditions."
Amna
REIMAGINING THE FUTURE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
"If we tackle the systemic social injustices and microaggressions that hold so many back, we can create a level playing field where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential."
Darryl
REIMAGINING THE FUTURE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
"When we think about the future, we often forget that we have the power to make a difference. We can decide the futures we wish to strive for."
Joshua
REIMAGINING THE FUTURE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
"Halfway through my Astronomy degree, Black people continue to be underrepresented in the space sector. Through the provision of equal opportunities, youth will know that there’s a place for them – whether aspiring to be astronauts, directors, or even an F1 Champion."
