👁How to use family dinner to teach politics
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Everyone should participate in decision-making and politics -- and it starts at home, says activist Hajer Sharief. She introduces a simple yet transformative idea: that parents can teach their children about political agency by giving them a say in how their households are run, in the form of candid family meetings where everyone can express their opinions, negotiate and compromise. \"We need to teach people that political, national and global affairs are as relevant to them as personal and family affairs,\" she says. \"Can you really afford not to be interested or not participate in politics?\"

👁What makes TB the world's most infectious killer? - Melvin Sanicas

👣In 2008, two 9,000-year old skeletons were found with their bones infected by an all too familiar bacterium.
