Hello. Welcome to Planet Classroom. I am

Orb. Join me as your virtual guide on a journey of global learning called Planet Classroom.

You will hear stories from artists, musicians, dancers, technologists, game makers, film makers, innovators and creators of all kinds from around the world.

It's time to engage our imaginations, share our ideas and explore solutions for a brighter future for all.

Our Planet is a classroom where learning together brings us together.

I thank to Selin Ozunaldin, youth activist for gender equality at the UN for setting the stage for our show today.

Girls have a tremendous, untapped power to change the world.

Today on Planet Classroom, you will hear from creators and leaders globally who are stepping up and speaking out on how we can improve girls' sense of confidence and position them to be change leaders.

I'm Selin from Istanbul, Turkey and I'm on Planet Classroom.

I am a guiding group member at Transform Education, a feminist youth-led coalition hosted by Angai.

I chose to be a part of this incredible initiative because I truly believe that we have to transform education and the power shift is indeed needed.

Governments and organizations must give young people seat at the decision-making table, especially when the topic is education, since young people are the ones who are in the center of education.

Throughout my journey with Angai, I have learned so many inspiring and empowering lessons.

I have learned why it is crucial important for us to be as inclusive and diverse as possible.

I have witnessed many times why we need to transform education and why we need more young people to step up and speak up.

Less chance for our education together.

The film, I don't need a husband yet, now playing on the Planet Classroom Network YouTube channel, features Rachel, a young teen in Malawi, presenting a compelling case for stopping child marriages.

How do we change this? Well, let me tell you something really amazing. And it happened right here in Malawi.

She's got in the model. She's said 800 class child marriages in the central of Malawi. 800 class child marriages.

So imagine if we made a difference in the North and the South and the East and the Central, we said more than 800 class child marriages.

We'll make a greater difference. And now a now country will be a balanced nation. That's what we need.

It can always be a new education too, just like guys need education. Who knows maybe that 13 year old, the vote married, was a future doctor.
