Voice for the Voiceless
"My name is Anna and I'm 13 years old. My mother often has panic attacks in detention when she cannot breathe and her asthma is so bad. Then I have to look after her and help her to get calm and to take her medicine. My little brother has bad nightmares. I have bad dreams too, but I don't tell anyone about them."


Madame Chairperson...

Edward Heath, Benazir Bhutto and William Gladstone lined the walls of the chamber of the Oxford Union as we stepped out onto the floor in this year’s Oxford Union International Competition for Young Debaters.

Ruta Quetzal

Last year I was selected to represent the UK on a Spanish expedition called the Ruta Quetzal.   I was one of 360 students from 56 countries who travelled through Panama and Spain for 6 weeks, camping and learning to go ‘back to basics’, taking a cultural and physical adventure.   We overcame language barriers and developed fluency in our Spanish.
