Lewisham’s Young Mayor featured on NHK

The Japanese broadcaster NHK featured a special on Lewisham’s Young Mayor, 16-year-old Jacob Sakil, last month.

The television show Kodawari Life Europe (A Determined Life – Europe) featured the Young Mayor and his work in Lewisham, introducing the Young Mayor role and the work he is doing in the area to make it better for young people. The Young Mayor is elected among their peers and given a budget of £25,000 to improve the lives of young people in Lewisham in Southeast London, a place with high youth crime and unemployment.

The show was aired on NHK’s high definition channel BS.
