The KnowYourHealth platform aims to work within the economics and health industry for a better collective future. At KnowYourHealth, we insight our readers into the up to date news about healthcare and give our perception on matters and propositions. We believe that voices of youth, especially in the area of youth health, are not sufficiently amplified to influence the future of healthcare in policymaking, capital allocation and education. This is a multi-faceted event, where we outline the importance of youth health, as well as think about the ways in which global health issues can be challenged. We believe youth health is integral to youth development. Acknowledging all the health disparities there are within the world, we want to suppress these discrepancies and lead the world into a better, healthier place. We strongly believe this can be achieved. KnowYourHealth was founded by Fredrick Kasindi, a Youth Council member at Learning Planet Alliance.t

Kenneth Bracken age 16 is from County Offaly in Ireland and is a member of a youth program called Comhairle na nOg. In this talk he explores the importance of providing young people with opportunities to get involved with community initiatives and policy making so that they can develop leadership skills, contribute to their local communities, local politics and be a force for good. Kenneth Bracken is a 17 year old student of Ard Scoil Chiarain Naofa. He has a passion for history and politics, and his talk will demonstrate his view of the need for youth participation in decision making within local communities and politics at local and national levels. He believes that the leaders of the future are created in present, however many young people do not know of the root to engage in the decision making process and how simple it could be to get their voice and concerns heard. His talk also aims to show older generations the importance of hearing the voice of young people and why they should be seen as equals with their opinions to be heard with the decision-making process. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
