The Happy Pod: The young people changing the world

Happy News

Available for over a year

At the One Young World summit in Canada, we meet leaders and innovators from around the world including New Zealand's 22-year-old MP, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, who says she has never been into politics, but wants to stand up for people. Hana, who represents the Maori party, went viral when she did the Haka in parliament, but says she only did it to calm her nerves. She says she is accepting her award not for herself but for the people that raised her. We speak to a woman using AI to tackle cyber-bullying, and the founder of a fashion brand praised by Beyoncé.
