Ep.50 - "Being the change you want you to see": Youth-led action with the Grange Youth Forum by The Community Development Podcast

For episode 50 Russell heads to Cardiff's Grangetown district in the south of the city to chat with two of the founders of Grange Pavilion's Youth Forum (GPYF) - Nirushan Sudarsan and Shoruk Nekeb.

They tell the story of GPYF's origins as a project within the wider Community Gateway project in Grangetown, a long-term community-university civic mission project. They also give a flavour of some of its activities and how GPYF acts as a crucible for discussions about global citizenship, resistance and organising for young people.

We also hear from other members of GPYF: Eleeza, Mahima and Amira.
