HE Knowledge Hub Podcast: Episode 3 – G7 Edition

This is a special edition of the HE Knowledge Hub Podcast. In this epsiode we are handing over the reins to our student reporters from  Richard Lander School & Fowey River Academy. In the Summer of 2021 St Ives, in Cornwall hosted the 2021 G7 summit, and the Future Leaders Network proudly hosted the Y7 Summit in May. Youth delegates from across the G7 nations presented their recommendations to the Government advising on how they can ensure young peoples’ voices are heard. Our student reporters have had the unique online work experience opportunity to meet the Y7 and this podcast is the result.
