Ife Obasa is an educational consultant, activist and sought-after speaker who advocates for greater representation in education - among many other strings to her bow. Ife spoke at the 2023 Rethinking Education conference about why we need representation in education more than ever - a topic that we discuss in some detail in this episode. Ife's work centres around mentoring and empowering young people to make their voices heard and to get involved in shaping the decision-making processes that affect their lives. She also advises organisations looking to better attract and retain young talent as well as investing in and across the education space. Previously Ife was an Inter-Religious Commonwealth Youth Ambassador for the Commonwealth Jewish Council and a Council Member for The British Youth Council. In addition, Ife is a Fourth Year Law Student at the University of Southampton. She is an aspiring solicitor with first-hand corporate legal experience and is extremely passionate about helping the next generation of aspiring lawyers. In 2022, Powerlist Magazine recognised Ife as one of 150 Future Leaders of African/African-Caribbean Descent in the United Kingdom. In this conversation, we start out talking about work experience - a really important topic that doesn't receive the attention it deserves. We then move on to discuss the importance of representation in education - what it means in theory, what it looks like in practice and how we might achieve it. And then toward the end of the conversation we discuss the role of faith in Ife's life and work. This is new territory for the Rethinking Ed podcast, and I found this part of the conversation particularly enjoyable. So be sure to listen to the end!

This year, Charity Digital has been focused on climate action, aiming to raise awareness about climate change, show charities how digital and tech can help them to minimise their carbon footprint, and empower charities to take meaningful action to protect our planet. But we, along with many other charities, are still trying to improve our environmental impact. Our survey found that although 88% of charities are concerned about climate change, only 48% are taking serious action to address it. So, we want to know: how can we bridge that gap? In this episode, we sit down with Sila Ugurlu from the British Youth Council and Alison Gowman from City Bridge Foundation to learn more about the state of climate action in the sector right now and what we can all do to help secure our planet's future.

In this episode, Jack chats to Paul Bytheway, Chief Operating Officer at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and President of St John’s Ambulance. A Midlands boy who’s always called Wolverhampton home, Paul talks about moving to London to find the person who he wanted to be after coming out as gay at 21, and how he found the big city both exciting and overwhelming. Paul is very passionate about working for the NHS, discussing a sense of family, belonging, and make a difference in other people’s lives. From the age of 14, Paul decided he wanted to be the real-life Charlie Fairhead (of Casualty fame) and be a nurse – he is still a registered nurse to this day and speaks incredibly highly of that profession. From school, Paul has always been naturally drawn to leadership roles – being a librarian, prefect and chair of the school council. Outside of school, he was also a leader, and involved in activism and charity he was vice chairman of the British Youth Council, actively engaging with MPs and advocating for the rights of young people, as well as junior chairman of St John’s Ambulance – an organisation he is still proud to be involved with today as president. Paul emphasises engagement, involvement, resilience and being visible as a leader – qualities he also uses to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly within the NHS.

Viki shares how she built a fundraising programme from scratch, and her personal journey to grow and develop personally, with her team and board and to make a difference by giving young people courage and confidence. Viki started her fundraising career in 2011 in the world of alumni fundraising. In what she describes as a ‘crash course’ in how to do individual fundraising, from direct mail, face to face, telephone, legacy and events fundraising, Viki still uses many of these important and valuable tools in her work, 7 years on. Viki has a successful track record in diversifying income, developing donor relationships and starting a fundraising department from scratch, while continuously being an ambassador for #DonorLove. In her spare time, Viki blogs and tweets about fundraising, often identifying the unique quirks of being a fundraiser!  Her blog flightofthefundraiser.wordpress.com is a well loved blog for fundraisers, and she is on twitter https://twitter.com/vikihayden To sign up to hear more from Stephen & Good Leaders go to https://stephengeorge.lpages.co/optin/ Or to find out more about Stephen and his work, view his blog and make contact, go to stephenwgeorge.com

Richard Freeman's special guest this week is Amanda Chetwynd-Cowieson By some definitions Amanda is a millennial, by others she is Gen Z - labels that have become meaningless - but she is certainly doing more than most to advocate for young people's rights, autonomy and recognition. Amanda is co-founder and director of For Our Futures Sake, a youth-led anti-Brexit campaign group that is currently advocating for a second referendum on leaving the EU. Following a degree at Falmouth University, where she was a President of the Students' Union, Amanda was elected to the board of both the National Union of Students and British Youth Council. In 2018, Amanda became Chair of the British Youth Council, cementing her position as one of the most influential advocates for young people in the UK. We spoke in September 2018 about activism and youth politics, leadership, risk and where Amanda's decision-making comes from. --- Useful links: FFS https://ffsakes.uk/ On the campaign trail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIdmrulFPzc Amanda on Sky News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTWcPtkAKks British Youth Council https://www.byc.org.uk/ Amanda on Twitter https://twitter.com/amandacc92?lang=en-gb People's Vote Campaign https://www.peoples-vote.uk/ NUS https://www.nus.org.uk/ --- Check out our vast vault of interviews with change-makers in business, culture and education at www.alwayspossible.co.uk/podcast and if you like them please subscribe, write a review, tell your friends - and contact us via social media if you have an idea for a future guest.
