🎤 “I started volunteering in different organizations outside of school. I was getting into different worlds, I was meeting different people, even the high-level people in Nepal, and with all these activities… some people started telling me: ‘you are very young to do all these things’.”
💪 In today’s episode, you will be meeting Asish, a young Nepali who firmly believes in the power of youth, specifically teenagers. Very active during his teenage years, he co-founded the media platform Glocal Khabar at 18 to showcase inspiring teenagers and encourage them to continue fighting for the Sustainable Development Goals.
Glocal quickly developed skills development programs and its flagship 20 Under 20 Ceremony to award and celebrate the work of teenagers in Nepal first, then South Asia, and soon the world?
We discuss what triggered his early social work, how he built a strong team around his mission to empower teenagers and grew Glocal even beyond Nepal!
