Earlier this year a group of young people that I work with to get the voices of young people heard started a podcast series.
In this podcast series the group tackled a number of issues including Disability, Gender & Discrimination, Mental Health, Sexuality & Hate Crime.
The group also invited a number of guests from organisations who work within these areas.
We had great conversations about these issues and I hope that we have helped young people feel that they can speak out if they need to.
My favourite episode was the hate crime one because this is the topic that I’m passionate about as I’ve been a victim of this despicable crime in the past.
In every podcast episode we gave a message to the young people living in our beautiful county as that was the purpose of the series.
The number of people who have viewed these podcast episodes on YouTube has exceeded my expectations.
I think that it is really important that young people speak out about issues that have mentioned within this blog.
If I had to give a message to young people reading this then it would be this: Please take the time to talk to your friends about the issues that they face as you may be able to help them
I absolutely love talking about sensitive issues because I know that by doing it we can help young people speak out.
I am hoping that I will be able to do more podcast episodes in the future to hopefully support young people to be heard.
I hope that you found this blog interesting and informative.
