Abbas also provides examples from his own work, showing how youth can be actively engaged in management, events, and subcommittees to build skills and confidence. The conversation touches on advocacy, creating structures that empower young people, and spreading awareness about organisations like Meca. And for a lighter moment, they even discuss favourite sandwiches! This episode offers insights into nurturing youth leadership, strengthening communities, and ensuring the next generation is equipped to lead.

Bob shares his reflections on the importance of social cohesion and introduces the idea of interculturalism—bringing people from different cultural backgrounds together to build a truly inclusive community. He highlights the key role organisations like MECA and initiatives such as the University Study Hub play in helping both young people and seniors connect, learn, and thrive.

Together, Elvis and Bob explore what kind of environment young people need to reach their full potential, the value of listening to their voices, and the responsibility communities and councils share in supporting youth-led ideas and leadership.

The discussion also touches on the power of sport in bringing people together, the importance of diverse representation in local decision-making, and how small everyday actions can strengthen social bonds.

The episode finishes on a light-hearted note, with Bob sharing his love for simple tomato, cheese, and mustard sandwiches, sparking a fun chat about old-school lunches and the memories they bring.
