World Game-ChangersGlobal Students Unite: Unity Is Our Superpower (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Paul “PK” Kelly
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul (PK) Kelly in the first episode in a mini-series about how to use his experience and inspirational energy to inspire young people.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lots of the things that young people encounter are the same. Part of the issue is there’s a lot of disconnect, lots of young people are involved heavily in social media which isn’t all bad, but it’s also not great for everybody.
- I don’t see myself as just a Maths teacher, I see myself as someone who can show people opportunities and talk about my own experiences of life and hopefully offer sound advice that can enable people to explore different opportunities.
- Since Covid I’ve encountered more students whose emotional development has been hampered by the emotional disconnect f not being able to see friends. Talking to someone online is not the same as talking to someone face-to-face. People struggled with Covid and children struggled more than we could ever imagine and the aftermath is devastating.
- It’s like a transition from fear to love: People are scared of the unknown, and once they realise there can be a better life they’re almost scared to go there. You can, you just need someone there to help you through all the steps.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Young people need a voice and to be listened to, but sometimes then need advice and someone to turn to'.
‘Covid caused a lot of damage and there’s a lot that needs to be resolved still for our young people, and the only way we can do that is by listening to them, talking to them, and saying things will get better'.
‘It’s really important to have someone you can call up and say I’m not feeling great a run problem by them'.
‘I know when I’ve got inner peace because I flourish, it’s like walking through a forest and all the flowers start to grow around me'.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Paul’s young parents divorced before he started primary school, resulting in him and his mother going to live with his loving grandparents.
From starting primary school, Paul was always a keen sportsman, excelling at swimming, football, chess and cricket, and after establishing himself as a regular in the Nottinghamshire (UK) cricket set-up, his grandmother decided to give him the opportunity to go to a private school to play his beloved sport, something he continued in Australia.
On his return to England, Paul was attacked after a night out and hospitalised, suffering temporary blindness, a double fractured skull and memory loss. After ten days in a coma, he awoke and started to try and rebuild his life; however, he encountered severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, and heavy drinking binges.
With the help of family & friends, step-by-step, Paul began the road to recovery and happiness – a 25-year roller-coaster journey – that has taught him vital lessons…particularly using stress to achieve success.
