E18: Mona Bani on how to support social innovators to deliver truly effective local solutions

Mona Bani is the founder and MD at Revoke⁠, a non-profit advocating for the rights and welfare of young displaced people, and co-founder of the award-winning media platform Untelevised⁠, which produces media from the grassroots to explore possibilities for social change.

She has over 10 years of experience in the socio-political sector, ranging from the Cabinet Office, to the refugee camp in Calais, and she's particularly passionate about bridging the gap between those affected by policy and those who shape policy. Her own parents were political refugees and she grew up in Denmark before migrating to the UK as a teenager, and she's appeared on much media speaking against the hostile environment. She's been awarded as one of the 2020 Clore Lived Experience Leaders in the Refugee and Migration sector; a Thirty Percy Changemaker; and an Aspen Leadership fellow.
