“It is crucial for individuals to gain a legal understanding at a young age so that they can identify their rights and the legal obligations they may face. The right to speak out and hold an opinion on current affairs is more paramount than ever. Leducate is important as it empowers young adults and allows them to have a voice and confidently participate in society.”
