Kids today: the lament of adults for generations. But throughout history, changes in society have been powered by youthful outrage and determination. Today鈥檚 teenagers face a new landscape of dangers, stretching into the 2050s and beyond. This is their inheritance, and they have a clear incentive to improve it.

In this three part series, The Kids Are Alright, Sandra Kanthal meets inspiring teenagers around the world working to make a difference in their communities and beyond.

This series will introduce you to, among others, youth reporters in South Africa trying to confront the rising tide of violence engulfing their neighbourhood; a Canadian teenager who has persuaded her government to spend millions to clean up a heavily polluted local river; and in Sweden, a young Syrian refugee working to improving the lives of hundreds of school age children in the camp in Lebanon where he lived for years.

Teenagers are often dismissed as too young to have an opinion and too inexperienced to make a difference. But these young adults are passionate, articulate and determined. Their experiences may provide inspiration to others who are fighting to make their world a better place.
