Anantha Krishnan worries that young people's needs are receiving less attention. A second speaker describes efforts to bring peace education into schools in India.
Krishnan says he previously led the youth programme at UN-Habitat. His work included helping to establish a fund for young people's projects, including work opportunities and ways to take part in local decisions.
He is concerned that attention has shifted towards the economy, security and war, while support for young people has become less of a priority. He asks what that means for a generation expected to help shape democracy.
The interview turns to ChildPress's idea of newsrooms in town halls. Krishnan stresses the importance of local authorities consulting young people, particularly where resources are available to support that work.
Rahul, introduced as active in Rotary and peace work in India, then describes another effort. He says a Rotary group is promoting peace education among young members and working to bring it into school learning in Kerala.
Rahul presents this as work in progress and hopes it will happen. He does not announce an agreed school policy.
The speakers discuss different projects, but both focus on giving young people practical support to take part in their communities.
