“I applied to be an ambassador because I want to stand up against prejudice and all bullying. I want to help people know that things like discrimination and prejudice aren’t okay.”

Felix has witnessed racism and violence in his community. Last summer, riots, vandalism, and xenophobic rhetoric have left a lasting impact.

“It’s not fair that I’ve had to stay home and be scared when they don’t know anything about us. I don’t go out on my own much now.”

But Felix refuses to be silenced. Through the Ambassador Programme, he’s found strength in learning, mentoring, and connecting with others who share his vision for a fairer world.

“The most important thing has been the ability to learn. I feel more confident. I’m good at writing down my thoughts and speaking to people about them. I want to find lots of ways to express my message to the world that all prejudice should be challenged and stopped.”

Felix has already taken part in a residential trip to Windermere and recently met Holocaust survivor Arek Hersh. That moment was transformative.

“Hearing him speak was really powerful. It was a great lesson to never let antisemitism or any form of prejudice go unchallenged.”
