The Silent Majority
Podcast Description
The Silent Majority is here to flip the narrative of who is silent and who is the NEW majority. This podcast is about platforming young voices - those who refuse to be silent but are not always heard. This pod isn't just about raising voices; it's about tactical ways to move forward in times of change and crisis, ways to leverage research, communication and creative tools to connect with community and create change.
Hosted by Varsha Yajman.
Brought to you by the Young and Resilient Research Centre at Western Sydney University.
