Welcome to SHIFT, the
Collective Discovery podcast.
Shift is a platform for exploring how shifts in relationships, power & resources can make the world a better place, and for enabling the brilliant people we are working with to be heard by others.
Our first eleven-part series is informed and inspired by our work with The Listening Fund which aims to make the youth sector more accountable to young people.
This series aims to support anyone working on sharing power with young people. The co-hosts for this series are Mercy Shibemba, a young grantmaker and activist, and Jenny Ross from Collective Discovery.
We hope you enjoy listening, and please email us your thoughts on the series.
