Young people’s charity Sheffield Futures are bringing together politicians, professionals and activists at the Leadmill for an evening exploring power as a young person within the current political climate.
Drawing on different perspectives, their conversation will consider the intricacies of our political system and what it means to be of voting age in 2023. The session aims to answer questions such as: where does voting apathy stem from, what do the new protest bills mean for activism, and how can young people remain optimistic and empowered?
Exploring both the democratic voting system and activism, Sheffield Futures' Young Advisors will stimulate discussion about the future of protesting – within recent legislation – leaving audience members with a clear vision of how to engage others and remain positive and impassioned. There will be time for audience questions, to air thoughts or queries.
Hosted and chaired by Sheffield Futures’ Young Advisors, this discussion and Q&A will be insightful and relevant, exploring the current youth experience of politics leading up to the local elections in May.
