What do you want to be when you grow up? Children are asked that question all the time. But no kid really knows for sure what possibilities lie before them, what kind of job they'll have, what kind of citizen they might become. 

In this episode, Alice Barbieri, Council on Youth, Council on Europe & Program Manager, Regione Liguria, explains how young people can start designing their lives at a young age and think actively about the educational paths they might take into the adult worlds of professions, work, and civic life.

She further breaks down why self-confidence among young girls and equality among all young people are the cornerstones of a healthy, participatory, and democratic society.
