Changemakers reception

Changemakers

This afternoon I attended a fascinating reception in Westminster for a remarkable organisation that is empowering young people to think for themselves and take responsibility for themselves and turn themselves into future leaders.

Most appropriate was a presentation by a young muslim who was running youth projects to challenge the role of leadership in the lives on young muslims and how we could prevent the growth of terrorists. It was easy to see the connection when you hear that in fact those responsible for the London bombs were ordinary British people leading lives as teachers and working in their father's fish and chip shop. It makes you think even harder.
