Thank you sarah. Now let us welcome from northern ireland, manchester francesca drumm. Francesca the world around us is changing fast. That just our Political Landscape but also on a social, geographical and cultural level. We all agree that the past months have been amongst the most chaotic and confusing that we as young people have witnessed. And yet we strive to raise our voices, the argument and the discourse.
