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.
