🗳️ Laws are being passed without us.
🎧 Narratives are being shaped without us.

Democracy doesn't work unless young people pay attention.

It’s not about becoming a politician.
It’s about learning how power actually moves, and how you can move it, too.

In just four days, our students learn how to track the stories behind the headlines and start telling their own… because silence has never kept anyone safe.
