Bebo’s Big Think
December 20th, 2009 by Jake
A few weeks ago I was a member of the judging panel for Bebo's Big Think competition which gave young people the chance to not only discuss the problems facing our country, but also come up with their own ideas about how they would try and make a change. 6 finalists came to London to present their ideas, with the 3 winners going on to give a presentation to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet at Number 10 the next day.
It was a great project to be involved in, which ultimately was all about empowering young people, and giving them the chance to have their say at the highest level. It also set a record for the youngest person to present to the Cabinet, aged only 17!
