Mary Kate Costello is a policy analyst with an incredible experience in dealing with youth related policies and program issues. She is very concerned about people not being able to work and collaborate with each other anymore, that it needs to be an either/or instead of both/and and this will lead to hampering (if not regressing) our growth as human beings. We also talk with her about youth and their thoughts on spirituality and religion realizing that these two concepts have different connotations for many youth.

This is the first episode in this series that puts someone who brings the youth perspective into the limelight, Mayesha Alam. She shares her passion to fight against inequalities and injustices of all kinds, but in particular against women and girls. Women should be regarded as agents of change. Another injustice she reminds us of is that people who are displaced due to environmental degradation or climate change are not recognized as refugees by international treaties and policy framework which means that protections that other refugees have don't necessarily apply to them. Plenty food for thought. And yes, she also talks about youth and spirituality.

He also explains that we all need wonder and awe for growth and the young generations is also aware of this even though they might not express it. He reminds us that all people should be allowed to walk unhindered and when they can't, we need to stand in solidarity with them.

In 2012 Maurice Bloem started the 100 mile walk (check www.100mile.org for more info), an attempt to raise awareness and funds to end hunger in this world. During these walks he met a lot of interesting people with whom he talked about a wide range of topics from Sustainable Development Goals until the power of conversation and these encouraged him to go the extra (100) mile to make this world a little bit better.
