It is not enough to report on what is happening with politics. Young people want actionable information delivered to schools and colleges

Here in the UK, we are fresh off the back of a general election. But outside of these big moments, the youngest generation of voters find it hard to engage with politics, despite being directly affected by issues like the housing and the cost of living crisis.
Young people are often disillusioned and do not feel they have the power to affect change, says this week’s podcast guest, Banseka Kayembe, a freelance journalist who set up Naked Politics.
It is a political news publication aimed at young people which has recently taken a new approach: to go directly into schools and colleges to engage with 16-to-18-year-olds.
It is not enough to report on what is happening in the world of politics. Young people want more actionable information on what they can do about their problems. And that is a need Kayembe is looking to meet.
