Talents are natural abilities or qualities, often described as an unusual innate ability in some field or activity. They vary from physical ability like dancing, singing, creative thinking/writing to swimming, cycling even mountain climbing. Talents are often gifts that exist at the birth an individual and it’s either discovered as the individual develops or later in the life of that individual.

In the time of Austerity across Europe; things have never looked so bleak. Record high unemployment rates on the rise in the continent especially for 16 -24 years old; a fact that has been linked not only to the London Riots that we all remember last summer, but also the ones breaking out in places like Greece.
The race for the London Mayoral Election has just begun; with young ambassadors in the frontline.
@UPRiseFestival is giving the youth generation the opportunity to participate in a evening discussion looking into the issues of equality, youth and diversity, with Konnie Huq as host.

We seriously DO think that there should be more discussions like these in the future.

He’s supporting the ‘Start Up Britain’ campaign which promotes entrepreneurial and new start up businesses.
Nothing to say more about the guy, cos he’s an inspiration to young people.
The youth unemployment crisis is taking it’s toll across Europe; and the Guardian released an article that gives readers and insight into the lives of those that have been affected in three euro-debt ridden countries. If youth unemployment and cuts in the UK lead to the huge unrest among young people (as well as the riots), the we’re wondering whether we’ll see this rise of revolt again that will spread as a disease across the continent.
We just have to wait and see…
