Wetin Naw is a youth-focused and youth-led project that will deliver a new youth-focused and youth-led podcast series that addresses important issues that range from young people’s political participation and civic engagement to employment and skills, as well as health and wellbeing.
The project will use media to amplify the voices of young people, taking a new approach that is anchored in digital storytelling. Using a 10-part podcast series, Amplifying Young Voices will explore the issues and highlight the challenges facing young people, while also showcasing the resilience of the Sierra Leonean youths. Through stories, it will show young people are pushing boundaries in leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and arts, among others. The aim is to create a podcast that is rounded–it spotlights entrenched issues while exhibiting success stories that inspire.
