Policies often look progressive on paper, but what happens when implementation falls short?

Hideout podcast in partnership with Y+ Global had a sit down with young people to share how decisions made at the top connect or fail to connect with everyday struggles in their communities.

We ask: what does it take to move from promises to practice and how can lived experiences be woven into policymaking?

This conversation sheds light on why policies are only as good as their implementation and how bridging the gap between leaders and young people requires trust, accountability and genuine co-creation.
