Mette was joined by Jens Orback the former Minister for Democracy and Metropolitan affairs and currently also the Interim Director of the Global Challenges Foundation, as well as Award-winning photojournalist Boniface Mwangi.  The discussion, moderated by the Swedish journalist Katrine Marcal, explored some of the challenges involved when trying to foster meaningful engagement with human rights issues as well ashighlighting some of powerful stories which have managed to capture hearts and minds of the public at large.

As a non-profit organization, working towards the realization of the Global Goals, we’re always pleased to take the opportunity to talk about the importance of free, independent media as a tool of mass engagement to foster an informed global citizenry – and are proud to have contributed to such an important discussion for young people at the London School of Economics.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
