We take a look at the global youth protest movement, and more specifically at the developments in France where local school protests have grown into a broader social movement.
We want to know how young people are organising against exploitation, repression and a future without perspectives.
And what connects their struggles across the world – how can collective resistance develop into a movement that challenges the existing system as a whole?
We talked to an activist from Les Soulèvements de la Terre, who joined the protests.
