Young Ambassadors – Another Way Forward

At the centre of our Another Way Forward project are our Young Ambassadors. These are the numerous young women who took part in our project and displayed a passion and commitment to countering extremism in society and making a difference. They worked together and found their voices in creative and inspiring ways, ultimately creating social media campaign videos to try and reach out to other young people and become key influencers and advocates. We witnessed their AWF journey and we couldn’t be more proud of these young women!
