Ndidi worked in the formal Education sector for a number of years; first as a teacher, then at Education charity Teach First before moving on to Pearson. But it’s only since she began working in the youth sector, as CEO for UK Youth, that she realised the wealth of expertise outside of the formal education bubble. She thinks teachers and youth workers should be trained together.
We are joined by Reuben Moore, Executive Director for Programme Development, Teach First, and David McQueen, an international speaker and entrepreneur who has explored how young people are inspired by good leadership – not just from adults but their peers too. Together, they discuss educational inequality, teacher workloads and how there needs to be a shift in approach to the way teachers and youth workers work together.
This week’s #AskYouth question is: “What does youth work mean to you?” We hear from a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old who attend Wigan Youth Zone.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
