It started with learning and quickly moved to doing. OHP’s young creatives trained with media professionals in research, storytelling, interviewing, active listening, teamwork, collaboration, camera and video-podcast production, then put those skills straight into practice. They brought their own ideas and chose issues that affect and matter to them, turning questions into conversations and learning how to work together as a creative team.

OHP stepped into the real world at the House of Lords on World Youth Skills Day, 15 July 2026. Hosted by Lord Uday Nagaraju, our young creatives put their questions directly to Lord David Evans, former MP Virendra Sharma and Anasudhin Azeez, Founder of London Daily, discussing skills, careers, AI, education and how young people can have a voice. It was more than a launch. It was OHP in action: asking questions, listening to different perspectives and having the confidence to be heard.

Then came the cameras. The cohort chose and researched the issues they wanted to explore, then worked together to create eight video-podcast conversations. Everyone had a part to play, from preparing questions and contributors to handling cameras, production roles and digital content. The result: real conversations, real production experience telling real-world stories that matter to them.
