The ‘What Really Matters’ podcast started over 2 years ago as many young people felt they were not listened to, heard or even cared about by society. So, we created a platform where young people from underserved communities could discuss what really matters to them and amplify their voices, without adult direction or tokenism. This has resulted in many interesting opportunities for those young people, calls to action and ideas for the future.
More recently the ‘What Really Matter – Professional Edition’ talks with youth workers, community development workers, educators and others who have lived experience of supporting young people and underserved communities in a wide variety of ways. Mostly from Bristol and now from across the UK and even internationally! We talk to guests about what it was like growing up, their career’s, things that have worked well or could be improved in the past, present and new ideas or approaches to help inform what we can ALL do to better to support young people and communities to thrive long into the future.
The What Really Matters Podcast has had over 3000 listens & views.
