Listen "Sustainable Optimism: Jasmine Koria on Youth Leadership at CHOGM 2024 in Samoa"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of That Optimism Man, Victor Perton is joined by Jasmine Koria, a passionate youth leader from Samoa, who shares her insights on optimism, leadership, and the upcoming Commonwealth Youth Forum at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2024 in Samoa (CHOGM)
Victor kicks off the conversation with his signature question, "What makes you optimistic?" To which Jasmine beautifully responds, "For me, it's a combination of all of those things—definitely my faith, which has been very intertwined with my upbringing. I grew up here in very sunny but also very rainy Samoa. My parents were both teachers and when you're in a field like education, especially in the developing Pacific, you've got to be very optimistic all the time."
Jasmine discusses how working with young people as a teacher fuels her optimism. She highlights the importance of sustainable optimism and explains how the Samoan philosophy of life helps her and the youth of the Pacific overcome challenges. As a Samoa's CHOGM Youth Forum Task Force member, Jasmine offers a compelling perspective on how Pacific youth can influence global policy on key issues like climate change and social justice.
Listen in to hear how the youth of Samoa are poised to lead with optimism, hope, and resilience at CHOGM 2024.
