Battlefront is an award winning Channel 4 online, on TV project that follows a group of young campaigners trying to change the world.
Last year, the Battlefront 3 campaigners achieved some fantastic results. They secured 1000 new work experiences places for young people, signed up thousands of new organ donors, pioneered a brand new sex education programme, got government ministers talking about young people’s mental health, raised awareness about the danger to Orangutans from unsustainable palm oil, and got young people to start playing a sport they love.
Over three seasons, Battlefronters have tackled everything from gun and knife crime, to giving autistic people a fair chance to work, to getting better sex education in schools. Like the sound of it? Why not tell us your ideas to change the world?
