YOUTH UPRISING – radio nordpol

Podcast: Download (Duration: 36:00 — 33.0MB)

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.
