Social Work, Political Leadership, and the Future of Environmental Advocacy "I don't want to be a doctor or engineer; I want to be a politician." These words, spoken by a 9th-grade student during a focus group discussion in my research, still resonate with me. His voice was strong, fueled by frustration over the environmental challenges he witnessed daily. His belief? Real change needs power—as a politician, he felt he could deliver the justice, the environment desperately needs. This moment was eye-opening, highlighting how children's aspirations are shaped by their awareness of social and environmental issues. It underscored the need to nurture future leaders—those who are not just professionals, but environmentally conscious and socially committed. #EnvironmentalAdvocacy #SocialWork #Leadership #GreenSocialWork #Sustainability #Research #FocusGroupDiscussion# Kerala Association of Professional Social Workers
