Our event is for 16-18 year olds in the Bath area but we always reserve some places for those young people who would also like to join us. This year we have a spectacular range of speakers opening with the extra-ordinary 20 year old Yeonmi Park, North Korean defector and closing with Iby Knill a 90 year old Auschwitz survivor. We will also be running a World Cafe style workshop to explore ideas for the future.
