We’re pleased to share "We Want the World to Know", a youth podcast project co-designed by our MA student Syifa Isnaini during her placement with Millennium Kids, with the first episode now published. As Syifa describes it, the project was inspired by bell hooks’ critical pedagogy and Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent resistance, and developed through deliberative democracy workshops alongside a podcast created by young people aged 13 and above at WA Wildlife in Walliabup (Bibra Lake).

The project also extends Syifa’s earlier creative work, where she explored podcasts as a contemporary digital form of Satyagraha. What is especially striking about this work is the way it brings together theory, creativity, and community-based practice in a genuinely youth-led form.

For Syifa, one of the most rewarding aspects of the project has been the opportunity to bring ideas from the Master of Human Rights and Global Engagement into lived practice through a collaborative process with young people. We congratulate her on the release of the first episode and on this thoughtful and meaningful contribution.
