I never quite understood the expression “a walk in the park” until taking an actual walk in the park with my little brother. For me, that expression never made sense—walking in a park was neither easy nor pleasant. When I was little, the nearest park was so far away that by the time we finally reached it, I didn't want to walk anymore. But since then, we've moved, and things have changed. My brother helped me realize this. As we walked towards the playground in the park, he was enthusiastic, voicing his opinions. I listened to him in a way I hadn't before, realizing that participation and advocacy are crucial for achieving a peaceful future. When he talked about how important it was for him to be class president next week, he said he was chosen because he promised his peers he would do his best to include everyone in the recess games. These walks are crucial, just as youth participation is for politics. It all started when I saw him climbing to the top of the slide, hoping he would grow up in a world where his perspective is appreciated and valued by adult leaders. As he slid down, I envisioned a great mechanism for youth ideas to reach politicians: establishing a government department dedicated to focusing on the opinions of all the country's inhabitants, not just those who can vote. When he reached the ground, my brother ran to slide down again, despite having already experienced it. It was then that I saw the determination young people have to be heard and not give up in the face of long waits. Later, after he had slid in every safe and imaginable way, he decided to play on the swings. Without hesitation, he asked for my help to get on. I would have tried to avoid adult help and done it myself, but his request excited me and made me understand that intergenerational collaboration will become a daily occurrence. It won't be isolated events where we see young leaders working together with authorities. It even made me reimagine education and its impact. The future my younger brother invited me to imagine was a world where education nurtures students to be leaders and collaborators, where phones are not machines that deliver bad news but connectors through which we can share our ideas for improving the world. A world where every country aims to end apathy and increase advocacy. While my brother fearlessly swung high, I imagined young people not being intimidated but motivated and guided by authority. After the swing, he hopped on the seesaw, and I joined him. There, I imagined a world where young people and adults work as equals, envisioning him as a president alongside me as a minister. When he got down, he took my hand to play tag. As he ran, he said he was a plane, and that imagination and creativity inspired me to not be afraid to have high dreams and be determined to believe in myself. I played with an immense sense of satisfaction. I knew that spaces would be opened for him, and his smile would not be erased by despair or apathy.
